Missed the swap "Darth Maul Chalice"??

[nashorn]

Missed the swap but did anyone see a frag of that? Still getting my water back in shape after the small crash.

[northbay-reefer]

Sorry about the crash man .... if you need room, I have room to temporarily store your corals until your tank recover.

Is that the purple chalice ??

[sfsuphysics]

Maybe ol' Jeremey can chime in, but I didn't see it there.

Also I don't know if you'd see that ina swap for quite some time.

[tuberider]

No darth maul yet, but I heard there was some sweet Christmas Favia... enough to make an entire reef.

[northbay-reefer]

I got one of those Favia and its is cool

[xinumaster]

I second that. The Christmas Favia I picked really looks nice.

[tuberider]

Christmas favia rules!!


Sad part is I brought one myself that was encrusting thinking "somebody will be stoked on this score". Silly Norman shows up with a whole cooler full...

I agree, something that rare and desirable probably won't be seen at swaps for a long time. But, you never know.........

Thanks for the offer but it's way better now lost a few and most brown ed out but some color coming back. The only coral I really want now is the Darth Maul.Really cool look to it. but I haven't seen it in person yet so maybe its just the picture.

It isn't just the pictures. I've collected chalices for years and this is something special.

I have distributed frags to people I know won't kill them (*ahem*), and are also accomplished growers.... and generous. BTW, you may forget about it after you see the new tort...

Hopefully, whoever has pieces of this chalice are frag farmers and not chop shop hobbyists :)

Sounds like I have a reputation of a coral killer. :(

Hope everythings well in your tank now Weyland.

Hehe... don't take it personally, Wayland. I know for a fact that Jeremy wasn't referring to you.

I'm sure that his inbox exploded after people figured out who was the originator of the Darth Maul / Bloody Reef Rash chalice :)

Jeremy is particularly conscientious about the corals he raises. I was impressed when he referred to his hydnophora as his "old friend". He grew the giant colony from a frag, and he found a home for it in the Steinhart reef, rather than fragging it up to sell.

No need to apologize.Sorry, if i came across as too sensitive.I'm still a little upset with the dumb mistake I made.
1st mistake-I let my corals grow too far to the top so when I lost power even thought my backups all came up the water level drop 3in and I lost most of the frags on top. I grew most of these from 1/4in frags. I had made some frags for the swap but lost most l of them.
2nd mistake- I came home and 1st thing I did was restore power.So of course I just add all this dead matter to my tank. :(

sry to hear nashorn. I checked out what the darth maul chalice looked like on MAtt's website. looks purty evil and cool.

Were there any coral survivors?
