[SNAKEMANVET]

Wanting to know ther might be someone interested in buying it.It is approx the size of a half dollar with 7 mouths.I am asking $200. I think that is reasonable price.I will try to get a pic,all I have is a p&s camera.

WOW.. $200. no offence... but wow. my wife would kill me. then again I sold a Massive monti cap for that much a few years back.

Looks just like an alien eye chalice...One sold as the swap with the same amount of eyes for $60.

Don't know if its worth $200 but if it is .....I'm sitting on a goldmine. Ive got one in my tank 4 times that size.

I was told it was a watermelon,it has alot of red which isn't showing up.If it is only worth about 60,I guess I might as well just keep. Thanks guys.

Did you buy at swap or from someone that was at the swap. This looks identical to the one I sold to a coral vendor before the swap started.

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

This frag came from (ncr) national coral registery denver colorado,I won it last year.He told me it was worth $250,and it only had 2 mouths.

 

[tkimmons85]

Hmm well In your defense I dont know much about watermelon chalices or what they are worth. Maybe they are alot more than alien eye chalices

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

I am in the same situation,I am really not sure,I was just going by what he told me.

It depends on which watermelon chalice it is. I have the Jadyas Watermelon chalice that is very pricey just trying to get it to color up from where I bought it. It comes down to lineage and who you got it from. Some people are willing to pay the price knowing that they are getting the real thing depending on which coral it is. In reality though most people just want pretty corals at a reasonable price. I judge prices off what I had to pay for it and where I bought it from.

Personally, I like the watermelon chalices that come from the ocean.

:lol:

j/k, guys.

watermelon chalice is One of my Favorite ... I seen many piece of watermelon Chalice, but that thing look nothing like watermelon Chalice. My friend got a good 6 inches piece.. and It LOOK STUNNING!!!

PM Brent to find out the lineage.

 

[mapn4reef]

It does look like the one reefkoi has...his is 3"x5" and he wants $299 for it... There's an "anastasia" one too, he wants $69 for a 3/4" frag.

 

[AdrianBryce]

It probably is from reefkoi. NCRA is based out of CS and so is reefkoi or very near it.

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

It was sent from Brent,he told me it was a $250 frag when I recieved it.I have no idea what it is worth.It is more vibrant in color compared to the pic,it has red with bright greenish yellow mouths and bright green rim.
