shramj, beautiful Hybrid! tell me, what kind and how much light have you been cooking it under? and how long did it take you to grow it out that size?...thanks

 

[shramj]

Here is another one that I have that I received locally in a trade. The person I got it from purchased it from a LFS and we do not know the name of it. Can anyone ID this one for me?

Super nice Hybrid!!!!

Kev i have mine on the sand in my cube and it is doing great!

 

[shramj]

Kev, I got it this year on Feb. 20th and it was about the size of a peanut. I have it under a 150w 14k Phoenix with actinics. I have it in the corner of the tank and it doesn't get direct follow. The thing really took off the last 2-3 months. I fragged it on Thursday and I just cut the flat part off around the coral so the middle is still one piece.

I purchased a JNS Grape Watermelon from the For Sale Forum earlier this year and I think the person I got it from is out of the hobby now. I am trying to find out if the JNS Grape is considered a Limited Edition or not. Does anyone have any information on this JNS Grape?

anyone have the Starfall Echino from exoticfrags? I just got a frag from Kigs yesterday and I was curious as to what placement might be and see any other pics of it...this pic is from Exoticfrags website

Kev. I got a piece when Jeremy and Hector came over a couple months ago, then I got a frag of it from Vince later on. I have had it up top and on my sand bed. It doeaas not seem to a piece that "needs" the shade. HTH

Thanks Mark! this is exactly what I wanted to know, is it showing signs of decent growth for you?

Too be honest, I have no idea as I do not pay a whole bunch of attention on most days to my chalices. They just sit there on the sand bed when the lights are on. Anyone who know me, knows that I am much bigger on color than growth.

Right on!

Well one thing is for sure...you do have some first class colors on all of your corals

Kevin just ask Liquidglass. Check out his starfall chalice pic on page two of this thread.
BTW I'm getting my frag of Aussie starfall tomorrow. I can't wait!!!
I'll see you at the swap tomorrow.

Mark whats the chalice in the second pic? Looks a lot like the Dr. Macs Red Passion.

Fonda, that is actually the Rainbow Delight Oxypora

 

[Znut Reefer]

I have the same one along with the Dr. Macs Red Passion. My Rainbow has never fully colored up like yours. How high up do you have it? It maybe because mine is in lower lighting.

Fonda, mine is in the sand and it looks like Marks...

 

[Znut Reefer]

Ian,

Ok I better check again. Maybe I have the two crossed. I got the rainbow delight, Dr. Mac's bloodshot chalice, and the passion red at the same time.
