Many chalices are slow growers. That is one reason they command such a high price.
I don't follow coral names, but it is very pretty.

My chalice kept getting sand dumped on him from my sand eating/gold head gobie. Now the chalice has skeleton pieces showing here and there, I moved him up a touch onto a shaded rock. Anything special I can do to him to help him come back to life?

feed it by hand weekly will help I dont think there is any reason to shade it just keep the sand off also I have seen chalices come back after thinking they where dead for months if it does go dont through it out just set it in the back where it can get light and hope the best

I bought a chalice and it also had some skeleton showing, I just left it in the tank off the sand and kept all sand off of it and it healed back up.

Light is all I feed. I would like to know the answer to this question as well.

you can feed them mysis, I have done so. You can feed any LPS mysis if they are feeding which in my experiance only seems to be at light.

My chalices grow like crazy because I spot feed a few hours after the lights go off and with powerheads off. I feed a mix of different frozen, mostly mysis. Sometimes coral chili, and a product called chalice reef caviar.

I have a gold dust chalice. I never see any feeder tentacles on them so I thought mysis would be too big for them.
