Chalice ID?
I have these 2 chalices that I am either still coral sitting or have been given... Not sure where that's going BUT..... I have never been a chalice guy and haven't payed much attention to what names and colors are. What are these guys? http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/25/ajunuqad.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/25/usejy4ez.jpg
On the second one, the side with more green is turned away from the light and the blue side is facing the light. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 |
First one could be Alien Eye Chalice not sure on the second one.
|
alien eye and minty green buddy
|
the one on the right with yellow sprinkles i have a huge colony of that chalice that was most likely a frag that i cut up for someone lol
|
Is there any kind of reference guide to chalice corals for identifying them? They seem to have as many names as zoa's
|
idk. im going with lostmyz's answer since hes who i got them from! lol
|
there a few different species of chalice corals all the crazy names are just easy ways of identification . here are the species listed from an article from advanced aquarist .
http://www.advancedaquarist.com/blog/chalice-corals Echinophyllia Echinopora (Though Faviid and not Pectiniid, it is included here because of similar morphology) Oxypora Mycedium Pectinia Physophyllia Echinomorpha |
