I'm surprised that the Monster Mash chalice isn't on here also.See it's not even mentioned.Fonda,knows the one I'm talking about.It's supposed to be better than the Tyree version.This came around when the chalice corals started to get there fame.....

I had a blenny that was eating my chalices. :furious: Most of my chalices pulled through, but the Rasta didn't make it. There were some chalices that were more waaaay more beat up then the Rasta and they made it.

I had it under 150 watt de 20k Radium. Fairly high up. The light is about 6 inches from the surface and the Rasta was about 6 inches from the surface. I only had mine for a few months. I need to get another piece sometime.

That's just wrong. Glad you found the b%^&^ a new home though.

I may need to switch out my bulbs for the 20k radiums.

Here's my rasta.

Had a bicolor blenny that nipped at SPS and chalices and other stuff too. Yellow tail, blueish black body. BAD BLENNY, but so cute. Had to go, I don't recommend them. Just picked up a little frag of the Rasta, will try to get some decent pics up soon, very difficult with curved glass and LEDs.

Here's a not so great pic of my rasta frag. Better in person for sure, but not quite like AD's pic. Can't wait for mine to color up like that, and grow some too.

When I go back to Allen's I'll take a pic of him. He didn't touch other lps or softies, just had a liking for expensive chalices. lol

 

[abereefur]

Yeah, that and a Pumpkin Patch frag and Tubs mini-Galaxy. Think I posted a pic of the PP on the Reverse Watermelon thread. Very happy with my order and looking forward to the future.

What is the difference between the Rasta and the Tyree Aquascene. They look identical to me!!!!

 

[650-IS350]

Bazooka Joe 1st then Rasta next for me.

 

[roblack]

The Rasta looks similar but more colorful than the Tyree Aquascene. Has alot more red and sometimes deep purple in it. Aquascene colors look lighter to me.

From what i understand Charles aka chin monster was the original owner of what is now being called the Tyree Red Watermelon. He sold a large chunk to Hugo, which he than LE'd! Charles name for the original piece was the Monster_mash. The only person to even credit the original owner that i've seen is Eric at fragfarmer. If thish is in fact true (which i believe it is) the lineage should get corrected on reeffarmers so that its credited to the correct person.

Since the thread is back, here is my rasta

Nice Rasta Mark! I know you have pics of some of the other chalices on here, when the mood strikes put them up so the peeps who don't know can see a good picture of one

Kev- I have never heard the name "rainbow sherbert"; only the aspera and the orange sherbert, which are two totally different corals. I know that there are sometimes different names in different regions. Can you help me out with this one?

I think the "rainbow sherbert" is actually just the tyree aspera, I got the name off a online vendor thinking it was the common name for it, so I am talking about the aspera on tyree's website

Cool, Thanks

Right now, mine has been getting blasted with light. I have been "experimenting" with some different elements lately

And the orange sherbert for comparison
