Miami Hurricane Chalice compatibility

[Chrisv.]

Hello! I’m a long time reefer but first time chalice keeper. I know that chalice corals like the MH can send out some serious sweepers, but I’m wondering if there are any corals that can be placed nearby without risk in either direction. Thanks!

i have a decent size piece at the moment. have not seen huge sweepers, maybe 2 inches max. It lives about 6 inches below a super long tentacle todds torch which occasionally will get a tentacle stuck to the chalice when the movement is just wrong enough...no visible damage to either but i try not to let it happen for too long if i am around and see it.

I have two chalices....put them next to each other, my mummy eye stung the crap out of my water melon but I see other people put chalices next to each other?

Interesting! I've heard that there are multiple genera that people call "chalices" and I wonder if that's the case with mummy eye and water melon. Both are such beautiful corals.

I haven't noticed particularly long sweepers on my MH yet, but it's only about 1.75 inches in diameter.

They are such neat corals. It's great that the are no longer trendy and impossibly expensive. I was in the hobby when these were released by Steve Tyree at prices that were exorbitant at that time (pre-$500-mushroom-era).

I'm all for anything that looks different from everything else. I feel like all of the blue heavy lighting these days, many things that are bright are bright green. Don't get me wrong, I love how the Tyree toadstool pops under my kessil, but things in my tank sure do look green these days.
