WCC BGM blowing up!!!

eg8r210 · 07/19/2011, 06:28 AM

I bought a WWC BGM from Rick and Terry about 3 or 4 months ago. We got it with 2 or 3 eyes and I put it in my brothers tank till my tank was up and running and I was comfortable with putting that frag in my tank. While in my brothers tank two new eyes popped up so I was pretty stoked. I brought the frag back to my tank about a month ago to see how it would do. Well late last week I saw that there were a bunch of red "areas" starting to form. Sure enough, it looks like 9 new eyes are forming. I am amazed at how well things are doing in my tank right now. The only thing I am doing differently than my bro was doing in his tank is that I have been feeding it the Fauna Marin LPS pellets. Wow what a difference feed makes.

Along the top of the frag you will see a bunch of new red "areas" that are really starting to take shape quickly.

Yeah the BGM is a fast grower.

pretty neat, i love when chalices start to take off.

One of my favorite chalices for sure, great colors.

The LE corals are crazy, this coral was $300 an eye not that long ago. I see them for $30 an eye now.

How much are they going for?

eg8r210 · 07/20/2011, 01:28 PM

I read on one forum that someone saw it for $500 an eye recently. I need it to be MUCH cheaper than that before I could by it.

I was pretty excited when I got this BGM and just recently I bought a beautiful pilty purple watermelon chalice and I cannot wait to see it grow out. The colors are incredible.

Couple months ago I saw a 3 eye for $500. So sometimes you can find them under $200 an eye but that is rare but I think the $200-$300 an eye is not far away.

All in time man. The popular ones get spread out and the prices come way down over time.

It used to be a crumb frag of cali tort was hundreds of dollars, now I can't give a 6" frag away.

Great job growing it man, I dont care what everyone else says if its going fast its not just cause its a fast grower, it is because you are doing right by the coral. Keep it up! I can't wait to see the tank in another 6 months or so when your stuff has all taken off!

Agreed

For a long time I couldn't keep chalices, not sure if I can now but I'm going to try.

InLimbo87 · 07/24/2011, 06:20 AM

Nice growth! Mine has grown like crazy as well

Was not saying not to be excited it was growing fast. That is actually a good thing. That chalice should grow fast. If everything is right and the chalice is happy it should grow fast. Now if it was a single eye after a year then something is wrong. So he must have a happy tank.

Thanks for all the comments. It seems like everything is doing pretty well. There are actually two more eyes starting to pop up.

One of the acans that I bought at the farmer's market has 5 new heads growing so I am pretty stoked about it also. Hopefully over time some of these will really start to fill out and look great.
