[va_reefman]

I have been collecting chalice for a while now bro...I was just quitely doing it while ya all out hunting for acans

 

[mane3215]

Ahhhh, a wolf in sheeps clothing =).

There are a few pieces I need to get a hold of. The one marlooney just posted, johns aliens eyes, and like one or two others. Other then that, luckily they arent top on my list =P.

 

[MarLooney]

john's just into everything. i bet he's got something unexpected like an amazing star polyp collection we don't know about w/ half a dozen types we've never seen.

here are some of my chalice-type corals...

Lavendar Oxypora sp.

Lavendar w/ Pink Mouths Oxypora sp.

Green Acanthastrea rotundoflora

Green Echinophyllia aspera

Red & Bright Pink Echinophyllia aspera *before fragging
(like the two in the nano... last pic on page 3)

i'll be bringing frags of the Lavendar Oxy & Pink Echino to the Enino swap in a few weeks.

 

[JenDub]

marlooney you can give them to me and save the trouble of bringing them all the way to the frag swap, setting up, talking to people that seem interested and not knowing what they are getting.........
I will make it easy and painless!!!

 

[va_reefman]

Chris,

OK all, what are these things? What names do they go by, and what sci names? I want some..... want some.....WANT SOME.....

 

[JenDub]

let's not have a hissy fit.....they are called Echinophyllia, echinopora, oxypora, "challice", "hedgehog coral", money in the bank......whatever you call it, they are pretty cool.

 

[MarLooney]

Echinophyllia aspera?

Echinophyllia aspera?

looks more like a Mycedium IMO.

lemme know what you guys think.

 

[JenDub]

it looks like to me that reefermadness needs to let that piece color up before they sell it, but I know someone will buy it.....they always do

 

[va_reefman]

IMO, not a good piece to start with. I'd rather spend the same amount of money on a much more colorful frag of other echino.

Check out this piece: Click

 

[RandyO]

I think that piece has great potential. I think it is an echinophyllia. The hot pink one I have was brown when it came in too. I think that could turn into a pink, or red. But I know one thing. I've never seen a brown Echinophyllia that was in captivity for a while. They always turn into something.

[MarLooney]

very nice! new or you've had those? i'll take a frag of each.

 

[mane3215]

Thanks, I have had these for some time now. The red is from Randy, the blue from another reefer. I did just get two others a small one from Tyree and one from John, I have had them a few months. I need to get some shots of them.

Frags are coming your way =).

 

[ReeferMac]

That blue one is killer!

Thanks Mac!

Not sure if this is a mycedium yet or not but i picked it up because it has neon green mouths and i'm hoping it colors up nice.
