questions on chalice

[austinpetemo]

today while getting a few frags small frags at my LFS i asked about a peice of a chalice coral that was for sale. The lady told me a little about them and said if i wanted to give it a try I could have the frag for free. My tank doesnt quite have the best lighting (BC14 with stock PC lighting) so i went ahead and put him as high up in the tank as i could, near my koralia nano. I have a few questions though. how far should i keep my other corals away from it because ive read that they have sweepers. and can they sting me? ive never had anything aggressive before, just Zoas leathers and xenia.

I don't think it can sting you. They need more light than your other corals but will probably survive. It is a lps not an sps though. You will get better advise if you re post in that forum. Good luck!

Chalice require substantially less light than most SPS, so I might be moving your frag to the sand bed.
