Bubblegum Monster

Echinophyllia, a chalice. Intermediate to keep, Typical PAR 50–120, low to moderate flow.

Also sold as BGM.

Rarity tier: ultra, reviewed 2026-08.

Green body carrying large pink to red-orange eyes, the central corallites raised and warty rather than flush. The size and relief of the eyes against green is what separates it.

How to tell it is the real thing

Eye size only develops with maturity, so a small frag may not show the trait for a year. Provenance matters more than the photo. Descriptions of this one vary more than most, so treat a single vendor photo as one specimen rather than the standard.

Keeping chalices

Low light and gentle flow, where nothing can sweep it. Bubblegum Monster is intermediate to keep at a typical PAR of 50–120 in low to moderate flow. A typical starting range for this type of coral rather than a measured requirement for this morph. Spectrum, how it was acclimated and the system it grew in all move it.

What Bubblegum Monster goes for

No verified sales yet. A range publishes once 3 dated, checkable records from 3 different sources exist, priced per frag and reported as a median, with what shops ask kept separate from what buyers paid. One frag is a single cut on a plug, whatever its exact size. Colonies, mini colonies and mother stock are excluded rather than averaged in. Nothing on this page is for sale. The survey found it at 2 of the 107 shops read on 2026-09-07. A range publishes from 3 shops up, so 1 more would have to list it before a figure appears here. One shop's asking price is that shop's opinion rather than a market.
