chalice frag with no polyps sprouting new polyps.

spspirate · Apr 30, 2013

Recently I had fragged out my Oregon Mummy Eye. There was an area on my mother colony that had no polyps so I decided to frag it off and see if it would sprout "eyes". Its been about two weeks and I believe this frag is sprouting polyps left and right!!

I count eight I believe? Maybe more. I'll post progression photos.

Nice! I've always wondered if it was necessary to have eyes when making chalice frags. Can you cut through the eyes too?

Yes I have had a half eye heal before. Now I have done this before a while ago but not as big of a frag and it wasted a way.

Looks like a nice chunk. I'll follow your progress.

Very cool! I have heard that if you want to get a chalice to sprout new eyes just take a sharp razorblade and make incisions where you want eye's to be. I've never tried it though.
