    I would place both low on the rocks and chalice should be somewhat shaded.

    The Chalice (the picture sucks but its blueish and it gets darker towards the eye with lime greenish yellow ring and bright yellow eye) I think it looks close to a grape ape water melon, but i could be way off will upload more pix in a few days when its fully settled.

    I'm glad you like the pieces!

    As for placement, the superman monti was within about 6 inches of my light (6xT5), so I would actually start it up highish. It's very used to being bombarded with light. The chalice should be low and a bit shaded, as said earlier.

    Just for reference, the monti you can see on the top of the middle rock. The chalice was down on the right, in the hole between the pearl bubble, and coco worm, and under the other chalice.
