What is a good price for a 8 inch round Bright Red colony? My LFS owner thinks it is a red brain. I offered him $50 and he is mulling it over.

 

[mane3215]

I would say for bright red 50 is an absolute killer deal/steal.

 

[Jus Reefin]

Thanks Chris. That's what I thought considering some were going for $50 a frag

 

[JenDub]

$50 is a good deal

 

[brahm]

no it's crap, buy it for 50 and send it to me for 60 thats a good deal! you make 10 bucks! WOWZER!

 

[MarLooney]

[Jus Reefin]

no it's crap, buy it for 50 and send it to me for 60 thats a good deal! you make 10 bucks! WOWZER!

That is a Mycedium. It's not usually referred to as a chalice, but is still a member of the Pectiniidae family. This is the same family some of the other "chalices" are found, including Echinophyllia and Oxypora. A true chalice, IMO is an Echinopora, which is a member of the Faviidae Family. To be fair, the word "chalice" is just a fancy word for cup.
Main Entry: chalÃ"šÃ‚·ice
Pronunciation: 'cha-l&s
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin calic-, calix; akin to Greek kalyx calyx
Date: 14th century
1 : a drinking cup : GOBLET; especially : the eucharistic cup
2 : the cup-shaped interior of a flower

So Mycedium would be best described as a chalice, since it's the only one that really cups.

..there are sooo many diffrent types of echinoporas though.. i can't tell between those, some oxypora, and some mycediums
