Echinophyllia · Echinophyllia

Chalice / cup

The workhorse chalice — a thin encrusting plate with low, scattered corallites whose 'eyes' fluoresce hard under blue light.

  • Rim, body and corallite eyes are frequently three different colors
  • Grows as a thin plate that follows the rock, spreading outward at the edge
  • Color comes up dramatically under actinic light — often bought under blues for that reason
