Yeah, most of these WM's look the same to me.

Chris, its a beast!! Definitely one of my favorite chalices. It eats like a pig, whole chunks of PE mysis, which has given me great growth out of it.

Here is my "rescue" chalice that has really turned into one of my favs. I acquired it from a LFS that was selling it with some ugly cabbage coral attached to the rock and it was killing the chalice. Got it just in time. Time progression is 5 months.

Wish I could find gems like that at my LFS. I love red rim chalices. Seems like a lot of mine are green rim.

Candy cane is looking sweet! Can't wait for those box's come in and you post my favorite piece.

Yes it does someone else I know said the same but my piece and Darrens piece both came from Pnoy and if you look at his thread somewhere in the 20's or 30's he has a pic of his MC named tec wm. Btw that rescue piece was a diamond in the rough D might just have to add a frag of that to my box pal :wink:

Here are some colony shots. The first is probably my favorite piece, I acquired it from Ian at RO and many thanks to him as he is one of the best vendors there is.

The more I see that big red rim gem from Ian the more I regret passin up on a frag from that

Still the best looking Widowmaker (outside of the original) that I have seen! Great coloration on that one.

Thanks Craig. Its definitely in my top 5. I actually have some orange coloration starting to come in, which is a first...

Awesome colonies Darren! Jai told me you switched out your frag lights. How do you like the change? Are you getting better color? I know your orange immolation is definitely looking better since last I saw it.

Great looking Chalice's Darren!

Thanks Frank. I see a huge difference since going back to the T5's. For this tank with solely chalices it was the way to go. They just werent happy with the stronger par values of the LED's. All the chalices are more "puffy" and happy and showing better coloration.
