WYSIWYG * This species was nicknamed PPE Chalice. To avoid confusion with the name we want to let others know this is not a chalice it is a prism Goniastrea which is a type of Favia. Favias are a relatively easy, encrusting coral to grow, preferring low to moderate lighting (150-200 PAR) with moderate flow. Be sure to give this coral a few inches of space from others as it can send out sweeper tentacles at night to feed.
