I like CHALICES, BIG and ROUND
 
I am addicted to sps but can't resist chalices although most of mine are old school.

I to love chalices, only thing is I for I'd to pay the outrages prices they want for them . So until then I will keep my bubble gum/ purple neon green one. Nice pics

footballdude2k3 02/24/2013 08:36 AM

What'd you take the pics with? Nice collection, what else is in your tank?

staindsoul 02/24/2013 08:47 AM

Thanks for sharing. From the 2nd to last picture, will they try to overgrow each other?

What is on the rock underneath some of the chalices? It almost looks like a flexible surface that you put over the live rock http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3a0bafe4.jpg


watchguy123 02/25/2013 12:38 AM

That is reef putty, specifically,D-D AquaScape Aquarium Epoxy. I put it over the rock but not into the rock. It serves as a growing surface for the chalice and that way I can theoretically remove the chalice (with the putty/epoxy base) or move it any time I want. Problem is the chalices grow beyond that point and encrust onto/into the rock and then become immovable. I thought if ever I wanted to frag the chalices, I could. But so far I like them growing bigger and bigger and have no plans to frag any of them.
