I have always liked this chalice, but I do not see a lot of pictures of colonies or even mini colonies of it.
I would like to see pictures of this chalice if you own it!
Post them!
 
Tagging along. Love my watermelons and haven't seen too many pics of this one.
 
very similar to bazooka. jaydas grows large eyes similar to the tec wm. havent seen pics of this in a while, would like to see some as well
 
Heres a pic of mine. My wrasse tipped it over onto a favia and I almost lost all of it. One time it was 30+ eyes, now just 2 but still alive....

Mine was pretty purple since it was smaller, it got more pink as it aged!

Nice. Any tips on bringing out more pink on it like yours, Nick?
 
This is one of my hardest chalices to color up...and the thing does not grow at all!!! I dont think many people still have it and if they do it's rarely colored up...a good person to ask about is Mark Poletti, he has the best piece I have seen ...he has the best of everything...lol...I will try to get a pic's for you tonight.
 
Sweet.
I recently got a colony of what I think is Jayda's from a local reefer. It is colored down, but I will take a picture of it to see if some of you all who own the confirmed Jayda's can help me i.d. it. They had to get rid of it because their moorish idol liked the flavor of chalice.

The lineage I was given is:

It was bought directly from Steve in 2007 and was one of the first LE WM Chalices. However, they could not remember which exact wm it is.

cool I ll take one of mine and we can compare...but if you really want to see it in it's prim check out Marks thread.
 
Thats funny, I have never had any problems with it coloring up. Its always been kinda purple but also has always had the pink goose bumps as well. Its one of my favorite classic watermelons for sure. finsandcritters.net has an awesome pic.
