Donovan...I'm so sorry it soundslike it really hurts to have to own that thing

When it becomes a burden I'm available to adopt it to a good home

That is a beauty!! Congrats!

DonavonsReef · #**609** 09/13/2005, 08:09 PM

Thanks Doc, & Jen!! I'll probably frag it eventually , It's kind of like a new car right now. I'm sure i will lose that new car smell in a month or two, but not right now.

DUuude!!!!!!!

DR,
The 1st pic looks like something you would see peering thru the hubble telescope....How much did you have to shoplift to get that??

Amazing

DonavonsReef · #**611** 09/13/2005, 10:41 PM

If i told you id have to kill you. Lets just say i may as well have shoplifted it.

DonavonsReef - That is awesome! Put me in line for a frag when the time comes. That baby is worthy of a name.

DonavonsReef · #**613** 09/14/2005, 08:07 AM

I think it looks like (Hot Lava) close up & thats what iv'e been refering to it.

what lighting does everyone keep their chalices under? high or low?

mschriskim · #**615** 09/15/2005, 02:10 PM

Even I do not have much of Chalices (few....)

Some really like med - high and some like low - med in my experience so I started with low and check them for 1-2 weeks time and depending on their color change or their response I move up....

I do keep most of them around med but low they are doing fine as well.

In my opinion chalices and Acans and blastos they really do not need to have high light so my tank I changed to T5s and took out MH (I gave up SPSs on main tank....) and put blastos bottom and Acans bottom to med and chalices med to high...

I keep mine on the bottom and they grow and color well. Approx 30" below 250 de 14k. I had one that got knocked into a cave.. was receiving very little light and I swear it grew the fastest...

DonavonsReef- That is one awsome piece! let me know when you frag that!

Great stuff guys! I hope threads like this get people thinking about why we don;t need 'LE' labels anymore. The stuff people have been finding lately is really amazing and there are lots of unique and beautiful morphs. In this day and age hobbyists can pretty much sustain our own addiction for exotic morphs of corals w/o having to pay someone else and arm and leg just because they put their name on it.

Sorry to be a little off topic, but I have several of these posted and I know where they came from before they became limited editions. It's obvious here that there are A LOT of awesome challices out there that anyone would love to have. Ok carry on

dieselab · #**621** 09/16/2005, 12:12 AM

you must have an amazing chalice collection mothra. hope to see some soon

mothra · #**622** 09/16/2005, 08:45 AM

I've got a few (well ok... more like 5 or 6), I wouldn't call it a collection, my point wasn't about what I have but what everyone else has. It's great to see so many different corals that are all equal to or better than some of the stuff being toted as 'limted', that's all.

I'm not too big on taking pics of my stuff and posting it, just not my thing... but I did slip up on another thread which has a pic or 2 of a couple frags

how much do you think a bright red dvd sized aspera would be worth?

looks like the one in this pic....second one from the left

Mr. Ugly · #**625** 09/21/2005, 01:31 AM

Here's one of mine. Sorry for the blur. Not the best angle, but I didn't want to move it in the tank.

Purple blue w/ pink eyes and red brown streaks. Kinda like a "dessert plate w/ chocolate sauce"
