Also sold as Hollywood Stunner Chalice, Hollywood Stunner Echinopora, Hollywood Green Stunner.

A look, not a line. It names a colour or grade, so unrelated corals can carry it.

Collector tier: common, reviewed 2026-08.

A thin, plating coral with small neon green eyes scattered over a purple to blue-purple plate. It grows fast, out into open water in tiers and scrolls, more like a plating Montipora than a chalice that crusts over rock.

How to tell it is the real thing

Green eyes on purple is the look, and the shops disagree on the body: purple, blue, even green, which is lighting and line rather than different corals. It is aggressive, with long sweepers at night, so give it room. ORA found the name has no one original colony and that anything which looks like it gets called it; their own look-alike, from Julian Sprung, is sold as Sprung's Stunner and cannot be traced back to a Hollywood Stunner. Cheap and widespread, so pay for size, not the name.

Keeping chalices

Low light and gentle flow, where nothing can sweep it. Hollywood Stunner is beginner to keep at a typical PAR of 75–150 in moderate flow. A typical starting range for this type of coral, not measured on this one.

What Hollywood Stunner 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.
