This thread could never get old

For those interested in the origins of the BPC Flamethrower, I owned the original colony. Here's a pic of what it looked like in my tank before I fragged it the first time.

I guess I should have anticipated this, but I didn't - duh! I do not have any frags to sell.
I left the hobby for about 1 1/2 years and am just now starting up a new tank. After my tank matures a bit, I hope to acquire one, but I do not have any for sale.

Any tips on the getting blue streaks to pop out?

Been feeding as much as it will eat. The two larger eyes are beginning to split into individual eyes too!

The blue in there really pops, incredible looking piece!

Katrina, thank you very much for brining this legendary and unforgetable chalice to the reefing community.

If it wasn't for you in trading a few frags to Matt at Blue Planet Corals (coined the name Flamethrower), Pwoller and Coralfarm123, this chalice may have been lost forever.

Below is a link from Reef Hobbyist Magazine. The article is a great read on how the BPC Flamethrower came to be.

Wesley, Thanks for posting that link. I was looking for that photo of the original right after I bought it. Pretty ugly. Who would have thought it would turn into such a beautiful coral!

Thanks for sharing Wesley...great read! I wish someone would write one of these for all the "worthy" chalices.
