120g of Chalice Delight

I've never seen a cyphastrea grow like that, or perhaps I've never seen that particular species. It's easily recognizable as cyphastrea however; beautiful and stunning nevertheless.

The couple species of cyphastrea I have are slow growers for me.

 

They seem to grow pretty fast for me, Mine will eat the fine powdered coral food, like coral frenzy if i squirt it at them

 

Some more pics for you all to enjoy. I did some closeups of the corals this time. Also some group shots

 

Wow,everything looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.

 

amazing ... but this tank needs .... a Jason Fox My Miami Chalice ...

 

I am in awe! Incredibly beautiful. You have some serious skill!

I really like the coraline look, but if you don't, wouldn't some snails help?

 

One of my most favorite tanks to see images of. It makes me really appreciate the chalice and lps.

 

I agree with you. This tank looks really good. ;D

 

Thank you guys for the great compliments! I do have some trochus snails in their, but they dont do much for coralline remove, I think only thing that eats it is urchins.
