All I see are frags of Chalices. I don't know what a full grown colony looks like. Does anyone have a good pic to show?

Thanks.
 
Here is one of mine...

ianiwane...what is the chalice in the bottom left? I have one that is IDENTICAL to that. size, shape, and the way the eyes are on the chalice. It's funny cuz I'd almost bet you came over and stole mine outa my tank its that close. LOL
 
I will try and get a pic of this chalice colony at one of the lfs here in town. It is probably 18-20in round. Biggest chalice I have ever seen. The colony is 10-14 years old I believe.
 
Here's part of Mike Clifford's chalice. The whole thing is circular and all looks like this.

This is a side view of one of SaraB's 10,000 chalices so you can see the mountainous look some chalices develop.

A very different chalice shot under actinics. It's in the display at Midwest Saltwater.

I finally have a couple of quick pics from that lfs I was talking about. Sorry about the quality...I took these pics quickly and they have a lot of micro bubbles in the tank.

holy smokes is right Steve.that's gotta be the biggest chalice I've seen in an aquarium..
 
That is just...WOW........awesome!!!

Unbelievable! Thanks for sharing!
 
I will second the question how do you get chalices to grow so close and not sting eachother?
