rnegret cornbred chalices opinion

Mike Cruz · Apr 9, 2012

Anyone who has seen Rich's setup in person would know their is absolutely no reason to doubt his corals or his listings. This guy has one of the most amazing setups I have ever seen and the most ridiculous corals you will ever find in a reef aquarium. I haven't been there in a while, but I can assure you I will definitely be going back soon now that my new tank is more established.

I was never into chalices til I walked into his front door 3+ years ago. It's worth it to buy a frag just to see his tank in person. I know my tank wants to be his tank when it grows up!

I have his "My Bugatti" (my avatar is a pic I took of it) and his pandora chalice. Both are very nice. The Mummy Eye is crazy bright too.

Just want to +1 all the positive comments about Rich. Been to his place several times and half my tank is loaded with his corals. Stand up guy with an amazing selection of pieces. Do not hesitate to purchase from him.

I just ordered his "My Bugatti" and I haven't seen many pics from people with it. You just got me super excited.

I also bought his Pink Dreams.

Just wondering from people who have ordered from him in the past, does he typically ship out fresh cuts?

ny time I have ordered from him they were always healed pieces, but it has been a couple years and it seems his demand has got much higher, so not entirely sure.

ok. i keep hearing the cornbread, 3g and oregon are different but i havent seen any pics to prove that. links provided on a prior page didnt work either. can anybody post a side by side shot of all three or two in the same photo to prove they are different or a link? I think a pic would be great so vendors wont make mistakes and collectors know what to look for

3g is way brighter then the organ ME...and the eyes on the 3g are different and bright as...the 3g is probably the brightest coral in my tank.

Do you have a pic of his pandora chalice? I recently received it as a freebie, but I have no clue what it actually will look like lol

Is ebay the only way to buy from him?

SD -

I think if you contacted him, he would work something out with you. He's a good guy.

Just found this thread, I just won/purchased his Rainbow Hell Spawn. It'll be here Wed. I feel better about the purchase after reading just a few of the comments. I could only find him in eBay.

Excellent quality!

I recently purchased a chalice and a mushroom from him. I have purchased from many others and I gotta say, Rich is as good
as anybody! His corals and top quality, shipping and packing are excellent, and he communicates quickly and well.
I would not hesitate to buy another coral from him!
The free one he added was amazingly nice too.
This guy gets an A+ from me.
p.s. This was about 3 weeks ago and the corals are even more amazing now!

Great guy to buy from! Corals came in healthy. Great communicator! All frags were well healed!

I dont know about his quality as ive never ordered from him but he is using my picture to sell a coral of his.... Mine doesnt have linage to a red robin stag either...

First picture is mine. Cornbred's Red Robin Acro Live Coral | eBay

Seems kinda shady to use someone elses picture of a coral to sell your own...hmm
