This is a new piece that was acquired from a collector that was breaking down their system. Its a real stunner, pic was taken under daylights and uploaded right from the camera. Look for a release of this soon!!!

Was that their "colony"? Or was there a whole lot more of it prior to their tank break down? It is a really sick looking piece!

Unfortunately it was the colony. The way the original frag was mounted, it was placed on a plug so the chalice grew vertically and there are more eyes and coral down the sides, that are not visible in the pic. I have since mounted it on a disc so it can grow horizontally, I will be fragging some eyes off of the sides.

Hmm.... that is a sick piece for sure. too bad about the eyes on the side.

Dude just stop it.

Leave some corals for the rest if us.

Darren, I just went through this whole thread. You got some sick chalices, everything looks amazing. Me and you can check them out all day while Kammy and my girl hang poolside the day of the BBQ lol.

Rainbow crush and rising sun are both so sick!! The Rainbow crush in one "red" rainbow I'd entertain swooping to go along with the dynamite.

fab1971 · Jul 9, 2012

actually, I think that is the flaming bugatti if I'm not mistaken but all of those colonies look fantastic! Glad to hear everything is going good there

The one 2nd from the last? I am almost 100% that is a rainbow crush, could be wrong tho. Awesome either way.

Looking at that piece again and wow it's just crazy lol;it looks like a BPC mated with an alien eye and the result was the best looking hybrid chalice ever haha.
