My new chalice-look familiar?

[Acroholic]

I don't buy colonies too often, but I bought this one...here are a few pics taken with a simple point and shoot. No picture manipulation. Reds and greens are about 10 times more intense in person. Lighting is Radium 400 watt 20K SE.

This looks a lot like a chalice posted going for $300 an eye, I think.

What do you think?

Very nice!! How much did u get it for?

 

[lReef lKeeper]

wow, thats a nice score !! let me know when you are ready to frag it !! lol

 

[Viva'sReef]

Nice pick up!! Looks alot like a chalice that is $300 now, but just a few days ago?....

either way very nice score

 

[roscoe]

Yes it does look identical to that other ONE. Nice score now you can charge $300 a frag because it is in such high demand.:angel:

Which "other one?"

Dave to make sure we need to do a double blind study and put a frag in my tank.

Very Nice Acro

Thanks for the compliments guys. Like I said, I usuually don't buy entire colonies because of space limitations. I think this piece looks just like the other one. It will be interesting to see what happens with the color over time, as this is fresh out of the ocean. I'll update with more pictures in a while.

Looks great! I ended up snagging an eye of the "other one" off ebay. Excited to see how this turns out, nice score.

What is the other one everyone is talking about?!?!?

This thing doesn't look like much to me, kind of plain jane.

I'm sure its nice - but where is this $300 an eye thing coming from?

 

[Acroholic]

Forgot to add. It has a blue rim, at least it does under my Radium 20K.

Nice pickup Acro.

Definitely a good looking chalice in person, but I've been seeing a lot of this morph, identical, coming in with recent imports. I've seen a few online vendors offering "their" version of this chalice, with their own names attached. I got a piece several months ago, and I can say the color holds up well under low/moderate light.
