I feel your pain buddy! I'm cleaning out my collection as #1, I'm running out of room and #2, I just can't have them all. I'm keeping the really cool ones that catch my eye or are an LE, of course, and I'm selling off the so-so looking ones.
Oh, and #3 one could go broke real fast trying to get all the hot ones!

I agree but others don't. Maybe Kenny will post his Vivid for a comparison shot. Ill take a pic of my Vivid but its still a little guy...
Either way, I still want the PB but Im a little crazy like that...

I feel your pain my man! :tongue:
Nice piece Marv... the name had me ROTFLMAO!!! :wink:
"Chalices" have always been in the hobby... they're just the "hot" (fad) coral right now as many others have been before and will be again. Since this leads to more being imported, more nice colonies have been seen and introduced.

is the PB considered as a WM morph? it does have green on it but not on the edge... more streaky on the body and in the eyes...
It doesn't really get a bright green rim, per se.... the most green it gets:
The Original Vivid my experience with it is that is very hardy ( it was upside down on the sand for at least a week dang snails, till I notice ) does not grow at all had it for almost 7 months and still looks the same, I been playing with different places in my tank with no luck. But hoping to see Kenny's pic to see how his is doing.

I've been told that the Vivid Aquariums Echino LOOKS exactly the same by a reputable source, and I have also been told that the Vivid Echino IS the same thing as the PBs.
I got a look at at pic of Kenny's Vivid and it looks like PB's to me.

Meaning the same colony? I'm not sure how that could be true. I spoke to the guys at the Vivid booth at the last RAP. They had had theirs for months and months, according to the gentleman I spoke to. We had only recently received the PB.

Honestly, when I saw theirs (I saw a big piece, not just the frag that Kenny bought) I thought it was the same coral. Tough to tell exact color of pink though, since they had different lighs than I run. However, I've never seen them side by side, and I certainly wasn't paying attention to subtleties like the green growth edge thatk the rest of you chalice freaks would have noticed 
so I'm not 100% sure one way or the other....

Well, one difference (and a huge one) is that by the looks of amore169's piece the Vivid is a super slow grower. That is definitely not the case with the PB. My chuck is like Marvins, after fragging it it has already healed over completely and then some in a weeks time. That would be a huge deal to me.

yeah... hoping it'll grow the same as the Orig ME... that will be wonderful!!!!
anyway, I'll add the PB to the WM thread... close enough!!!
