"challice" pics...lets see em!

Here is a shot of my little Miami Hurricane Chalice...I don't know why it is more Steely blue/lt. purple than the greens I have seen out of the mother colony and Greg's other half of the mother colony (Pumpkin Patch Chalice). I have it placed on the bottom of the tank right up front. I wonder if it would like more light??

Alicia mine is also slate blue in color. It's growing very well
but I was hoping it would turn more green. It's kept under T-5's.

My Miami Hurricane looks more like Alex's, I have it under LEDs, towards the bottom (22-24 inches below the light), and a bit shaded. I think they like less light.

Mine is kinda bluish color too.

I love the Miami Hurricane but too pricey for me...

Mine was green on the first day but gradually shifted to steel blue as well under 150W

Does anyone remember the firefly chalice from ATL? I purchased a large piece when Ming Wei got it in, and after looking at all the miami hurricane chalices and comparing with my "firefly" I think they are about the same. Same green rimmed orange eyes and green to steel blue body. Mine was blue and barely started going green. If so what a deal I paid 60 for 3".

just curious how much does it cost for a piece of miami hurricane and how big is it. i just got a frag of mummy eyes and Rastafarian Chalice they are awesome will post pics later.

I think reeffarmers sells the Miami hurricane for 185 a frag, and i'm sure it's under an inch.

I don't have a pic of my Miami Huricane, but it has kept the green color. I have it under 250 12K reeflux. It is very low in the tank.

You can't get the Miami Hurricane for years from RF for a few years on the waiting list, unless you win an auction with coralfarmersmarket. I paid 250 for a large sized frag.

OK so who just paid $630 for the melting pot? I was going to bid up to $400.
