    Thought i would try my hand at some chalice here is the WYSIWG picture (I got all 4).

    I also got a new monti; I don't know exactly what it is

    We'll see what it looks like in my tank. I'm excited. I've never kept any chalice. Any advice?

    that monti is phenominal. Looks like a chili pepper monti. beautiful piece really. I love me some high end corals and you have them there. For chalice, I will say, low to moderate light and moderate flow. I have all of mine shaded. By the way, when that chili pepper gets big enough to frag let me know. I'll be the first to buy a piece from you.

    I agree, low/moderate light and moderate flow, at least to start. Some will look better with higher light but the only way to figure out which ones are to try them out or find someone else who has kept that exact colony before and done the trial/error for you.

    Nice start to a collection though. :)

    Really? That's was you:eek:(Gasp)?!?!?!? ? If that was you, PM me the last 4 digits to the auction # (< 11041237???? >) and the seller name. If my arms were long enough to get to wherever you are I would. . . slap you (french style- w/ glove), and other stuff too!

    Threats aside, tell me how it is- if it has arrived. . . post pictures.

    Oh, amanda is not me. All i see is a***c, or g*****8 (iu. I think it's for privacy reasons. Was a***a the "amanda." I think that there is an ebay seller named amanda 1234 or something.

    By the way, I looked all the coral I got up on Reef Empire's official website and it would have been like 555$. The chalices are bubble gum, wraith, valkyrie and laser beam. They say the monti is "mai tai," or "jedi mind tricks monti."

    Hey Mike, did you win a little somethin' somethin' too on that round of auctions?
