Hey, just curious if there are different types of Stellaria Chalice. I see WWC selling them for $299 while TCK Corals have them for $60. The WWC picture is more orange and the TCK picture is more yellow/gold.
Stellaria Chalice, different types?

Agree. Just curious about the huge price difference for the same coral

Thanks for the kind words!! In my experience you'll pay more from the "original" vendor of a named coral and you're paying for the knowledge it's the same as the original. For example the WWC bounce mushrooms are more expensive from WWC than from most other vendors, even though it's PROBABLY the same coral lineage. When I got my original Stellaria it was from Unique Corals. It was my understanding that the original colony was split between Unique and WWC. Unique suffered some losses to their frags and only got a couple out. I've seen good pieces from many vendors. The last one I got was from Brandon at @Zoanthids , he always has great quality at fair price. I've had some major losses lately to my chalice collection, among them my big Stellaria colony. I was able to frag a couple pieces before the end and getting them slowly back. Here are some of my fav Stellaria pics
