"challice" pics...lets see em!

[Reef Bass]

I won a half dollar sized brown lump from my club's raffle a few months ago. Since then it has grown, thickened, become more nubbly and colored up some. You can tell where the new growth has occurred all around it. Here's what it looks like now.

I have no idea where it's headed with its coloration but I'm liking what I see!

A good friend just picked up a frag of this one. Pic is Donavon's, not mine. Can't wait to get mine!

I got that one on the way too Rob! The Firecracker, Donavon has killer stuff!

Isn't it bad a$$! Yeah, I like Donavon's corals alot. Think there is an underground coral railroad somewhere around here bringing these funky chalices in.

Yeah bro! your right in the middle of it too! I hopped that train a few months back and have been stocking up on some under the radar pieces, really sick pieces too! Both Rich and Donavon have the goods!

not too mention they are both super nice guys!

That is a sweet piece for sure. I picked up a frag from Donovan a few weeks back, to bad I didn't know about that Firecracker, lol. The one I got is so-so at the moment. The mama colony looked super sweet with a blueish body..so far my frag has stayed drab olive brown. I hope over the months I can get the blue that the mama colony showed. There are some incredible chalices coming in this past year. Wow... .

Yes, it must be the Year of the Chalice in the Chinese New Year or something

What piece did you get from Donavon Alicia?

Anyone have any photo's of this piece when it's happy? Colors always look brighter when the corals are shriveled up but this one could be a show stopper for sure.

 

[kev apsley]

These are donavonsreef.com pictures and his coral, I just want to make that perfectly clear
