So how do you guys know if a chalice has good potential? I mean i see a lot at my LFS but they are not "popping" like yours because they are under crappy lights. What do you look for in a frag that could potentially be an awesome chalice! I have to know your secrets! haha 
oh and p.s. i definitely subscribed to this thread!

I usually go by the amount of colors, and the contrast of colors.
Typically I like it to be at least 2 or 3 very defined colors. It think it's the contrast that really makes them POP.

just wanted to throw this one out there-
i am POSITIVE that the vivid echino and the pink boobies chalice is the same exact thing. they came in separately, but ultimately the mothers are identical and the slight shift in morphology of the f2 frags are also identical. i don't have permission to use other people's pics, but i'll post links later. so how come i can buy one (vivid) for $200 for a GOOD sized frag, while the other sells for $325 + $56 shipping for a 1/2" piece? without flaming, let's talk about this. please chime in w/ your experience.
here's my $0.02:
vivid's website hosts a pic (and i think a video as well) but the colors are off, perhaps from the white balance, perhaps it's the 20k lights... but it's not that pastel color. i've seen it in person several times. it's a radiant pink w/ thick rounded nodules and big eyes growing out of them. pink all throughout, no rim... the frags, like many other wild chalices, seem to shift slightly- namely, a powder blue rim that you don't see on the mother, with occasional blue streak running through them. anyone who's been to vivid and locked on to their watermelon in the 800gal display will know. any chalice freak would have that image burned into their head for the rest of their reefing days. somebody please concur with me if you've been there and you find any of this to be credible.
pink boobies, which i've also seen in person, has the exact coloration and morphology in the mother colonies- radiant pink, same lack of blue rim, eyes growing out of big rounded nodules. frags look identical to the vivid frags w/ the blue-ish growing edge and occasional blue streak.
separated at birth??? you decide.
