[Xtasia]

Thank you for starting this thread.. if not for this thread I wuld sitll be wondering what my coral was! I have a pink one.. I iwll post pics soon.. gotta get home and take a picture!

[21ducks]

So which one is more rare, the purple with pink eyes or the alien eye green on purple?

Also what is the best place to place these in your tank, and what type of lighting. Mine seem to like lower lighting better, and I have lost color on one of mine, possible because I am running 20k 175's and not 10K? What do you think?

Where do you guys get these beautiful piecez from? I talked to a friend of mine (owns an LFS around here) and he said they are hard to come by. I would love to get one too...

a new piece

[corro]

JnS: Nice!!! Great shot, really shows off the colors.

Here are a couple of mine

[wil611]

Doc those are incredible you truly have the sweetest chalice collection. I'd love to see your full tank as well.

[Tico Mike]

JnS, have I seen that one before or is that a new one? Either way you have a sweet collection of echinos and oxy's going from what I could see on my last visit.

This first pic is that tiny frag I got from you. The one I've been growing for Fugucuts is REALLY taking off. Althought this Red coral feeds during the day like mad, so maybe acanthastrea rotundaflora? But the bigger piece looks very echinophyllia like.The other is a macro of that huge green one I have...

I'm not sure I can tell the difference between echinos/oxys/mycediums/chalice, but here are two of mine:

Blue Peaches....a light blue color with some irredescent green on peach:

Hot Pink...this really stands out in my tank with the pink color:
