Overview

The Mummy Eye Chalice coral (*Echinophyllia aspera*) is a visually stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral, known for its plate-like or encrusting growth form and vibrant colours. Its distinctive “eyes”—often bright red or pink—contrast beautifully with its green or blue base, making it a true showstopper in any reef aquarium. These corals are prized for their unique patterns and fluorescent qualities. In the wild, they inhabit lower reef slopes and lagoon areas, accustomed to moderate water movement and lower light conditions.

Care Level

Moderate. While generally hardy, the Mummy Eye Chalice coral requires stable water parameters and careful placement. They are semi-aggressive and can extend sweeper tentacles at night, so adequate space from other corals is essential to prevent stinging and damage.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of [data unavailable] is recommended. Maintain stable water conditions with a temperature of 23–27°C (74–80°F), pH 8.1–8.4, and salinity of 1.024–1.026. Moderate water flow is ideal to prevent detritus buildup without causing stress.

Diet

The Mummy Eye Chalice coral primarily relies on photosynthesis from its zooxanthellae but benefits from supplemental feeding. Offer small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or coral pellets 1-3 times per week, especially at night when its feeding tentacles are extended.
