Dragon Fruit Chalice brings a wild mix of color with the kind of growth that gets more interesting as it matures. Instead of simply spreading flat across the rock, the edges gradually lift and curl, giving larger colonies a natural bowl shape.

FlowLow to Moderate

LowModerateHigh
Provide Low to Moderate variable flow that keeps detritus from settling on the Chalice. Avoid constant direct current from the same direction in favor of random chaotic water movement.

PlacementMid level

Placement of your Dragon Fruit Chalice is one of the most important decisions.
This is where you’ll have to take lighting, flow, future growth and nearby corals into consideration.
Since it prefers 150 - 250 PAR range it will need to be mounted Mid level on your rock work depending on your light intensity.
Allow room for its Encrusting growth form, and consider neighboring coral colors and shape. When possible, use contrasting corals such as red next to green, blue next to orange, or yellow next to purple, and mix growth forms such as tall branching corals next to plating or encrusting corals.
