Large Chalice Colonies

Anthrax15 · Oct 6, 2011

I have seen very tiny frags of big name chalices (Jason Fox's, WWC, Vivids) but not really many large colonies of them.

Would love to see some.

You rarely see frags because most people can't afford to grow them out :neutral:

Here are two of mine, submitted to Steve Tyree this year, "Fist Full O' Dollahs". I put a piece of eggcrate on it for a size reference. It's been my tank for about 18 months.

Wow...that's huge! Looks about 8" - 10" across, definitely one of the bigger ones I've seen.

Those two pics were taken at least 6 months ago. I measured it the other day when someone was asking about it and it's just about 12" across now. It's a fast grower. The only thing I don't like about it is when you frag it the frags seem to brown out for a few weeks before they color back up like the mother colony.
