The Volcano Chalice is one of the early Old School Chalices. This coral was imported prior to the discovery of the first Watermelon Chalice. This was when Fragfarmers Old Shop in Upland was a major importer of whole chalice colonies. There was very little interest in those corals at the time. The Volcano Chalice has very exotic pigment patterns over its surface. Its has a psychedelic pattern of short red stripes with a greenish hue located between the red stripes. These pigments can fade under strong light levels. The corallites also contain exotic pigment patterns. The center has pink spot patterns. These patterns are ringed by a line of bright turquoise blue pigmentation. So each large corallite has a basic volcanic crater appearence. Corallites are fairly large in diameter. Reeffarmers acquired our seed fragment from a southern California coral farmer who initially acquired a fragment directly from the old Fragfarmers Upland shop. We currently believe that this chalice develops its best coloration under low light levels. Water current requirements are moderate. Steve Tyree is maintaining a seed section of this coral for Reeffarmers.com in an 125 gallon naturally filtered TriZonal system. This system is naturally filtered with a semi-cryptic zone, a semi-exposed zone and a reef flat exposed zone. In Steve's captive reef the coral is positioned to receive low light levels from a 400 watt 20,000 K Radium metal halide. The price of this coral per small fragment consisting of one large corallite is $85.00. The quarterly limited edition reservation schedules can be found below.
