• Type: Mycedium elephantotus (LPS stony coral, chalice type)

• Variant: Green/Brown

• Color: Brown to chocolate base color with intensely green fluorescent areas and eyes; strong contrasts under blue light

• Structure: Typical Mycedium plate shape with a slightly curved surface, raised eyes, and broad tissue areas

• Light requirement: Low to medium; green parts fluoresce particularly under actinic light

Care Instructions:
The Mycedium elephantotus Green/Brown is a relatively easy-to-care-for Chalice LPS that prefers stable water parameters and a lightly to moderately lit position in the aquarium. It thrives best in protected areas, as its tissue is sensitive to strong currents or contact. Regular, fine LPS feedings promote growth and color intensity.

• Strong fluorescence under blue light – ideal for modern reef LEDs

• Undemanding to keep, well-suited for advanced beginners
