I have had a pretty common chalice for quite some time and I havent noticed any tenticles or growth. My lighting is T-5 and about 324 watts. I have it close to the bottom of the tank along with all the other lps corals that I have. WHat do I need to do to get this guy to grow? Any special needs that I am not aware of? I did research but not sure what I can do better. Thanks in advance for any help. Dustin
 
Some chalices are extremely slow growers. If it looks healthy, you are probably doing just fine. You may try giving it more light or target feeding it to try to make it grow a little faster.....but I don't know of anything that a chalice would require on top of what you would do for any other corals.

You probably won't see any tenticles except in the middle of the night/dark cycle... That is the time you would spot feed as well... You may have already known this, but I was just making sure... ;)
 
I didnt know that I thought that would be the time to spot feed them. I have looked several times at night but I still havent been able to see the tenticles. It must be a really slow growing chalice. well, I will just be patiet and see what comes of it. Thanks for your help.
