Care for Hollywood Stunner Chalice?

[chuckdallas]

I just bought a Hollywood Stunner chalice at the local FMAS Frag Swap in Fort Lauderdale this weekend. It's about 3 inches across, in diameter. The background isn't a real blue or green color and the plate is SUPER thin, almost as thin as paper. I probably shouldn't have, but I bought it sight unseen from a guy who has sold stuff to me beofre and I trusted him. I don't want to lose this frag. I have two other chalices that are much easier to handle (if I had to move them) and at least 1/8th to 1/4th inch thick. Are Hollywood Stunners known to be so thin?

Do they require light down near the sand bed in my 120 gallon tank, with 22 inches from the top of the water to the sand, like my other chalices? I use two 60 watt LED pendants, a 37 watt Reefbrite all-white strip and a 2 bulb HO T5 fixture.

I keep mine on my sand bed under 4 54 watt t5 bulbs and it does good there. I think the sand bed is where you would want to place yours.

It will tend to be a bit thinker under higher flow.

Okay, so I'll place it near the sand bed in a high flow area. Thanks.

If it is stressed you want to move it under low light and low flow, you can acclimate it to higher light slowly by moving it up higher "slowly"
thats not a very thick coral in general
