Absolutely love the holiday themed corals like the jack o lantern lepto. However, I don’t really see too many other corals that also have this type of holiday theme, being either Christmas/Halloween. Would love to hear what others recommend.

Jingle Bells Cyphastrea
ORA Easter Egg Chalice
Absolutely love the jingle bells cyphastrea. I’ve got a few cyphastrea in a little corner of my tank, and I think the jingle bells would look great with the rest. Absolutely love that recommendation! Love the look of that Easter egg chalice, but chalices have always concerned me a little with how aggressive they can be. How fast is growth rate on the Easter Egg?

Can’t think? I do have a Halloween Crab :grimacing-face:
Oh wowwww Halloween crabs look super cool. I used to have an emerald crab in my tank, but quickly had to get rid of him as he was snacking on my Walt Disney acro and all of my other digi’s. How are Halloween crabs in reef tanks? Want to avoid that emerald crab nightmare as much as possible hahah.

Easter egg chalice seemed to be a moderate to slow grower for me Overtook it's frag plug after about 5 months or so? Faster than other chalices I had but not as fast as the mummy eye I have now. Unfortunately I lost the easter egg due to some issues and never replaced it.

Zoa's are a great for this theme. This is an old pic I have when a couple of my zoa's blended together. This was from my aquarium before I reset it. Maybe you can go this route.

Good to know. The Hollywood stunner in my tank grows like a weed, so I’d rather avoid another chalice that grows like crazy. Truly sad that you can’t have multiple chalices next to one another. There’s so many I’d love to put in my tank, but it seems I’m restricted to one or two more with my rock space.

Holy crap! Those colors go crazy together. What are the dark blue with pink rings called? Glad you brought up zoa groupings, really can never get enough of them
