Like the title says I would love to see some really big chalice colonies. It seems most people grow them to frag them, but I want to see the rainbows, mummy eyes, blood reds, ect.. in full blown colonies. Lets see them.

This one is in a friends 250gal tank. I took the pictures back in December.

The whole colony is in the lower left hand area of the tank.

Wish it were my tank. This was at the Aquarium of the Pacific, but this is the largest chalice (Echinopora) Ive seen in a tank. This isn't quite the whole thing; what's pictured is a good 4 feet across. Cool coral (really cool tank overall).

blue Echinopora lamellosa, the original "chalice".
One of my favs- very nice captive colony!

Here's my large-ish green Echinophyllia. About 13" in diameter in pic above blue Haddon's anemone.

I had to cut a rim about 2" x 8" off one side of my colony to keep it from stinging some SPS.
