    I've had the chalice for about 1.5 years now and it's gone through 3 moves and an upgrade in that timespan and through it all it has managed some decent growth and brighter colors.

    The brain is around 6 mos old and when I got it, the bag had ruptured and drained almost all of the water. Since then it has really gained some color and size, as well as a new friend.

    Nice watermelon, what it lacks in growth it makes up for in color. :)

    And you brought the brain back from death. Reverse brain death, heh. Nice work.

    Yeah, me too. I can't believe that the brain actually pulled through.

    Very nice coral. Makes them more special knowing you kept them alive after what they went through.

    What kind of camera did you use for those pics? They are really nice looking! And though I love mine, I want yours lol. And those specimens you've got yourself there are actually pest corals. Just mail them on over and I will take care of them for you ;D
