Rainbow Chalices - Let's talk about them!

[KLR]

I think out of those three rainbow crush takes the cake for me. Nice new additions!

Wow that rainbow crush is amazing! But the eye on the crazy clown is pretty sweet too. I've been looking at the patron forever! I wish I had the funds to pick up a frag pack like this one!

 

[SDguy]

Yeah, the dark turquoise color on the RC is a nice surprise, and quite different from the gray/blue/purple of the others...

Nice, the Clown and the Crush are my favorites right now. Thanks for the pics!

Picked up this piece of rainbow crush from Rich last week. So sick in person. Already forming new eyes

 

[Braves Fan]

Hahaha I got all of them P. Let me know when you are ready lol

What is the big Chalice bottom left in the pic? Thats a really nice looking coral.

 

[SDguy]

Very nice!!

I just chekced mine with a flashlight. Everyone looks like they have recovered from the shipping. Am I the only one that checks on his corals like this, with a tiny bit of me fearing I will shine a light on a suddenly white skeleton LOL??

My head is spinning....need to walk away from the computer for a moment.

Best part is the prices on these have already basically been cut in half. These will be really affordable for everyone in another few months.

I don't know about everyone. I still hear people moan about a $75 frag

And you have to deliver it to them with a freebie.:roll:

I finally got the rainbow crush in but it's waaay too small to do a side by side or comparison. Also have the blue crush but it needs some coloring up to do. So far, the brightness of the dynamite blows the others away though. This piece is about the size of my fingernail but has all of the colors and truly shines (being grown out with salty dog). I believe it's a step above most of the other pieces. It even outshines the flash bomb, which is a very sweet piece on it's own.

I'll try to snap some side by side pics this weekend.

For those of you who have had these rainbows for a while, they seem to be decent growers. Thoughts?

 

[mnat]

Decent but by no means fast. I would not call them glacial either but in the middle towards the slow side. Results may vary etc etc.

So I'm having some real problems with the Crazy Clown. It was the most PO'ed looking of them all when I received it, and has continued t recede. Looking at the picture of the ebay listing, and then at least 2.5 weeks later, when I receive it, I'm thinking the edge of the tissue doesn't look great to begin with? In that time I would have expected a nice edge to have at least healed... maybe suggesting it's already unhappy?

I've dipped it once in Revive, it didn't help. What else would you do, if anything? Anyone that his this one, is it particularly sensitive to anything (flow, light, etc)?

Definetly in bad shape I got my rainbow crush last week and sad to say it was unhealthy to begin with and has gotten extremely worse down to a booger now :sad: my frag compared to yours makes yours look great. Good luck with your piece

 

[dnov99]

That stinks Peter, all I can advise to do is the usual, and place it in a low indirect light and no flow area. Good luck with it...

At this point I'll be happy if even a tiny bit lives...
