Miami Hurricane
Echinophyllia, a chalice. Intermediate to keep, typical PAR 50–120, low to moderate flow.
Collector tier: rare, where the trade ranks it from common through grail. In stock at 13 surveyed shops on 2026-10-19.
Chalice with a blue to teal body and orange-red eyes, with green streaking through the body. Eyes shift from yellow toward red-orange as a colony matures, so a big colony carries several shades at once.
Before you buy one
Often sold green-bodied and blues up under aquarium lighting, which is why vendor photos of the same coral disagree so badly. That plus the usual chalice caveat: they change dramatically as they encrust, so a one-eye frag is a promise, not a picture. Buy multi-eye pieces where you can.
Keeping chalices
Low light and gentle flow, where nothing can sweep it. Miami Hurricane 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, not measured on this one.
What Miami Hurricane 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. Shops are typically asking $25 to $50 per frag, median $34, across 13 shops surveyed on 2026-10-19; the full sweep ran $10 to $65. Asking prices are what sellers want, not what buyers paid. On 2026-10-19 it was in stock at 13 surveyed shops: bluewaterreefaquatics.com, coralscoral.com, creamcitycorals.com, northstarcoral.com, reefloungecoral.com, reeftogo.com, and 7 more.
