Ktar got it from a LFS that he had been bugging for years to sell...

One day, he got lucky...

Also, the 'source' of the my Miami got his Melting Pot frag from Ktar...

Thats who i thought, i guess that blows that thought out of the water.. Thanks

The Melting Pot Chalice came from the display tank of my LFS. My Miami came from Jason Foxx and he is the winner of my very first frag of Melting Pot i put on ebay. Hopes that clear things up for you Matt. Cant wait to see pictures.

I believe that I remember reading that it came from a LFS that his buddy owned. The LFS would not frag it but Ktar kept asking and eventually bought the entire colony. Now I could have just pulled that from my rear but that sounds right for some reason to me.

you have a very knowledgeable Rear

Thanks Ktar, again, not saying "im sure its the same" as there is a 99% chance with the size of the ocean that i'm wrong. Its just very similar and one of the few i've seen that look even close to yours. The only difference i saw during the 10 minutes i looked at it before the lights went off was that the tips of the mouths are not all red, seems that most on mine are the whatever color that area of the chalice is. But i don't know how yours looks but when i look at this it almost looks like the colors are painted on. Just looks like they stand out, (something you probably won't see in the pics but i'll do what i can.)

BTW, Hope that acan is still looking great. Darrell picked his piece up this weekend. It was sweet.

Well i started this for nothing. yep its awesome but definitely not the same as the melting pot. Much different. I'll get some pics in a bit. Sorry for the lead on...

And now that i can see it in the light i'm almost positive this wasn't grown from a frag unless this person grows frags on skeltons..

I believe the colony you bought was on ebay about 1.5-2 weeks ago. IS that correct?

Fish n' Frags · Feb 25, 2009

Legally, NO. But there was one on ebay that looked like it had potential till i offered the right price and when it arrived it looked amazing.

Half of the stuff going on these forums recently makes no sense. I try to just hallucinate when reading the post and looking at the pictures. :beated:

Here are a few pics. There are only two spots with the gold/orange color but i'm hoping once it grows out more it will become more prominent. I tried to WB the pic the best i could, its tough under my t5 fixture. So far its showing blue, purple, pink, gold/orange, and red.
