Raja Rampage Chalice Coral
The Raja Rampage Chalice is a highly sought-after LPS coral celebrated for its explosive colour palette and bold contrast. Rich base tones are overlaid with vibrant highlights and glowing eyes, giving this chalice an unmistakable “collector” look that intensifies under blue-heavy lighting. Its low, spreading growth and intense fluorescence make it a perfect feature coral for lower reef zones.
Favoured by collectors and mixed-reef keepers alike, the Raja Rampage Chalice delivers maximum visual impact without requiring aggressive placement or high light.
Natural Habitat & Distribution
Chalice corals (commonly Echinophyllia/Mycedium types) originate from the Indo-Pacific region and are found across:
-
Indonesia
-
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef
-
Papua New Guinea
-
Fiji and surrounding Pacific islands
In the wild, chalice corals are typically found on shaded reef slopes and lower reef structures, where lighting is subdued and water movement is gentle.
A Brief History
Chalice corals rose sharply in popularity as LED lighting revealed their intense fluorescence and complex colour layering. Named morphs such as the Raja Rampage became especially desirable due to their strong colour contrast, glowing eyes, and reliable colour retention in captivity.
Today, premium chalices remain staple collector corals, valued for their uniqueness and display impact rather than rapid growth.
Appearance & Growth
Classified as an LPS (Large Polyp Stony) coral, the Raja Rampage Chalice features a low-profile, encrusting growth form.
-
Intense multi-tone colouration
-
Bright, contrasting eyes
-
Strong fluorescence under blue lighting
-
Smooth to lightly textured surface
Growth is slow to moderate, spreading outward over rockwork as it matures.
Placement & Lighting
Chalice corals prefer lower light environments.
-
Lighting: Low–Medium
-
Best placed on lower rockwork or shaded areas
-
Excessive light can cause colour fading or tissue stress
Light acclimation is recommended when adjusting placement.
Flow Requirements
Provide low to moderate, indirect flow.
-
Enough movement to keep detritus from settling
-
Avoid strong or direct flow that may damage tissue
Gentle, random flow is ideal.
Water Chemistry
Stable water parameters are essential for long-term health.
Maintain consistent levels of:
-
Alkalinity
-
Calcium
-
Magnesium
Chalice corals respond best in systems with low to moderate nutrients rather than ultra-low nutrient conditions.
Feeding
While photosynthetic, chalices benefit from occasional supplemental feeding.
-
Fine meaty foods
-
LPS pellets or coral-specific blends
Feed sparingly 1–2 times per week, preferably during lower light periods.
Temperament & Spacing
Chalice corals can be aggressive and may extend sweeper tentacles.
-
Allow adequate spacing from neighbouring corals
-
Avoid placing near delicate species
-
Monitor nighttime sweeper extension
Frag Size & Natural Variation
-
Frag size: Typically a mounted frag (unless otherwise stated)
-
Colour intensity, eye brightness, and growth pattern will vary depending on lighting and tank conditions.
