Excessive current may lead to recession or polyp retraction. Use pulsing or randomized flow (MP10s, Octo Pulse 2, Sicce Voyager Nano) Avoid direct flow from return lines or powerheads Helps minimize detritus while preserving tissue integrity Feeding Tips for a Healthier, Faster-Growing Chalice Although it photosynthesizes, this coral welcomes the occasional treat: Target-feed 2–3 times weekly using Reef Roids, Benepets, or Coral Frenzy Turn off flow for 10–15 minutes to maximize uptake Use a turkey baster or coral feeder for precision Coloration Secrets & Tank Maturity Benefits Color isn’t just cosmetic—it’s a sign of coral health. The 3G Mummy Eye’s radiance comes from consistent care and stable water chemistry. Calcium: 420–450 ppm Alkalinity: 8.3–9.5 dKH Magnesium: 1300–1350 ppm Nitrates: 5–10 ppm | Phosphates: <0.08 ppm Temp: 76–78°F | Salinity: 1.025 Tank maturity matters—stable systems help this chalice develop deeper colors and more defined eyes.
