New Chalice!

I would think so (from what I've researched.) They don't like a lot of light. Just start at the bottom and move it up until bad things happen; then move it down to wherever it was.

 

awesome! thanks

 

and feed it. Remove it if PCs turn out not to be enough.

 

what do they eat?

 

Mine just ate finely ground fish flake food (make sure all the ingredients are coral-safe.) Someone correct me if I'm wrong on any of this here please. I think they would also be happy to accept some live planktonic food (I use phyto-feast and hear that DT's is good) or some finely chopped mysis.

 

I won 28 of there auctions that day! almost every kind of zoa they had some montis some acros some chalis and a nice little brain. best part is I live about an hour away from his coral propagation shop so I pick up and get free shipping. 28 frags for 220 dollars! ill post some pics tomorrow after I pick them up.

 

That's awsome! Show us your well-earned booty. They have free shipping on orders over 100$. I saw that in the last round a few frags went by and ended w/ no bids @ 99cents. The chalice pack gave me free shipping and I put a bunch of frags in auction sniper (really low-ball bid) and waited to see what my nets had caught. I got 4 chalices and a sweet monti for a total of 69.27$.

 

nice I place a bid on everything they list.

 

Last night my royal urchin was trying to make off w/ my derasa.

This morning (actually 12:30ishPM) when i woke up, i noticed that 3 of my chalice frags had been knocked over and were locked together in a writhing mass of mysentery tissue. 1 was missing. I had the "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" feeling. I recognized a piece of macro that i had bought that had been on the urchin. Then, I found my wraith chalice fashionably accessorizing my urchin along with my new montipora. Out of all the coral and other crap in the aquarium. . . Darth Vader said it best:

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!

The monti and the chalices were nowhere near each other. It knows. I don't know how; but the urchin knows which of the small objects in the tank are more valuable in human money than others. Like Mr. Tweedy says: "The [Mespilia globulus'] is organized." All it had on it was my chalice, monti, my halimeda and a couple of star polyp frags that had been growing on it for about a month. It would not be caught dead wearing rocks, nuisance macros, or other things that are "so five minutes ago." It has gone with a color scheme a few times, all brown, all white or black. It's really kind of funny.

I'm now pretty sure that it's anus is actually more like the red eye from 2001: A Space Odyssey, reading lips and scheming. The frags are okay, i think. . . maybe. The chalices look fine, except for some intestine left, blowing elegantly in the current. Does anyone else have this love-hate relationship w/ their royal urchin, thinking it's adorable and hilarious one minute and shaking your fist/biting your thumb @ it the next?

 

Doh! Sorry to hear that. The urchin likes nice clothes, anything that isn't nailed down!
