    I just went through your whole thread, Wow I hope my chalice does the same :(
    Did you dip it? If so what did you use?

    I'm still confused whether it's just bleaching or if it's actually decaying and dying? I have a watermelon chalice that bleached, meaning it lost a lot of its color. I've actually tried moving it all over the tank, but can't get it's color back. The guy I bought it from had it under 400w Mh and it was looking really nice. He fragged a piece for me, but it bleached. It's still growing slowly, so I just leave it alone. I've had it in the shade, low in the tank and high up, it never colored back up and now it's about midway up in the tank and chugging along. If yours is actually receding and dying, then you can try feeding it and making sure nothing bothers it. Good luck.

    I'm not sure but all I see is skeleton, With a lil bit of flesh & 1 eye :-/
    I dipped it & put it in the shade to see if it recovers, At least it stopped receding :)
    I'm going to try to get a pic brb

    Ok, well it sounds like it's not bleached but dying and receding. Sounds like your doing everything you can.
