My Watermelon and other Chalice collection

Hi,

Just want to share my Chalice collection:
My favorite Watermelon under Artinic

Under 10K MH:


This one is Tyree LE Red WM. I bought it from Hugo at the Bay Area frag sale. I though it is completely gone at one time, but it came back and recovered quite well. It started to show some pink pigment. Miracle!

Four color Hybrid WM. It will show the light blue inner rim once it gets a little bigger.

Another Hybrid 4 color WM

Some Golden mouth (yes mouth, not eye) Chalice

Thanks

Thanks guys!

reefdragon1086, yours are very nice. I was trying to get it a frag of that one locally and but they are charging too much for it. $250 for 1 inch frag! That is too crazy. Maybe we can trade one day.

I am feeding them with mysis and cyclopeeze 3 times a week. Take about an hr to feed them all cuz I have to stand there to make sure fish and snail won't steal the food. The ones with small mouths have long tentacles and it is easy to feed. The one with big mouths don't have any tentacles so it is harder and longer to feed. All pumps have to be turned off during feeding.

Happy reefing.

haha I agree! I have no idea what's the fascination of tree looking corals with no mouths to feed lol.
