Miami Hurricane

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

Rarity tier: rare, reviewed 2026-08.

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.

How to tell it is the real thing

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 rather than a measured requirement for this morph. Spectrum, how it was acclimated and the system it grew in all move it.

Shops are typically asking $25 to $50 per frag, median $34, across 13 shops surveyed on 2026-09-07; the full sweep ran $10 to $65. Asking prices are what sellers want, not what buyers paid.
