Okay that really does look like if you licked it, it would be SWEET!! Is it just me but does this eye candy LOOK like candy!??! Maybe it's the terms of my addiction I just refuse to recognize...but..damn..I dunno!! ;)

Steve, you've pretty much cornered the market on about the nicest pictures possible of echino's; at this point in the game what more can one really say about your stuff man?? Except, "sweet" :cool:

Btw, has anyone dialed in the reasons for the bumps or lack there of. Some of mine keep em while the majority kinda smooth out, or look tightly stretched over there skeleton. It's either light, water chemistry, or flow. Just havent figured out which one yet.

Thoughts!? Speculation, or even better, definitive answers?

Nice Andrew...that snowball has some very unique pigmentation combonation to it!!! Would have to say its one of my favorites..."widomaker" been telling Marvin for ever thats a sick wild mother colony of a chalice........glad you picked it up!!
 
Thanks Andy, it is going to be a sweet chalice colony. There is some gold and green starting to really pop up. So if that becomes prominent it will be a nice five color piece. And my one of the guys suggested the widowmaker chalice and because my wife was so upset with me for buying it she agreed that was a great name. i finally just got out of the dog house for it.

And the Green Snoball is one of my favorites. It eats like crazy. I thought you picked one up too from Craig? I am really happy with the coloration of the Hologram and it is going to be one of my favorites.

We have to catch up soon,
 
yea..iI picked one up from him..had to after seeing it in person!!!..Know telling what kinda of color morph youll get from that hellacious chalice..going to be some sick nasty frags youll be growing out!!!...heres a pic of my snowball that Craig took...believe it came from Chris up in D.C......

I have gota say...these are some of the nicest chalice corals I have ever seen!

Great job yall!

Phantastic looking corals!!
 
Andrew- great looking chalices. Your doghouse piece (the widowmaker- that's an E. aspera right?) is lovely. I really like the mottled colors that the Aussie pieces such as that one are sporting. So intense and vibrant. Woops, let me wipe the drool off the keyboard..


Pnoy- how do you keep coming up with such stunning corals??? Are these pieces that you have had for a while, or are you constantly acquiring more?
 
Really amazing stuff in here. Pnoy, your pictures are always inspiring. Goodtimes, that's a really nice and unique chalice.

Here are 3 of mine.
