Just like most chalices. Low to moderate flow. Mine seems to do well in moderate light as well. I've tried feeding it several times but it never eats.

Thank you, I have other chalices that are doing great and I have gotten two trop overdose and the second one was exceptional. They both did horrible and were a slow decline. I bought a third but this is my last.

Very low light.

Goes to show you how one tank can be so different from another.

I was just asking because some chalices you could get a 1/4" booger and it would survive but some just die when they are cut too small. IMO that's why the BPC FT seems to have become kinda scarce nowadays.

LOW flow and LOW light.

I thought you were advocating for moderate light?

But usually when most corals come in very stressed out you want to give them low flow and low light just so they don't get shocked by anything.

I thought that is what he was referring too
