The MAI Rainbow Chalice is a striking and visually captivating LPS coral known for its vibrant and dynamic coloration. This chalice features a dazzling array of colors, with a base that typically exhibits a deep red or purple hue. The coral’s surface is highlighted by bright, neon accents of orange, yellow, green, and blue, creating a rainbow effect that shifts and shimmers under different lighting conditions.
The coloration of the MAI Rainbow Chalice is particularly intense and can appear almost iridescent, especially under blue or actinic lighting. The vivid, multi-toned patterns spread across the chalice’s encrusting surface, which is often textured with a slightly rugged, uneven appearance that adds to its visual interest.
This chalice is known for its slow growth and requires stable water conditions, moderate lighting, and low to moderate flow to thrive. Its rare and vivid color palette makes it a standout piece in any reef tank, and its striking appearance often makes it a centerpiece coral for collectors and enthusiasts looking to add a burst of color and visual appeal to their aquariums.
