Chalice Share

[DianaKay]

I got a Chalice frag as a "freebie" 6 months ago. Honestly I would never have bought this coral & I still don't know much about them. Here's mine with 6 months of growth:

I started this thread to maybe get some more info on them & know what to expect.
Is the growth about right for 6 months? It has covered the frag plug. I'm guessing that's about all I can expect since I've never target fed it. How big do the get?
Anyone have a picture of their Chalice to share? Please do if you have one.

Nice been dying to get one, will be my next piece,. Id say good growth, most like moderate light and med. to low flow.

looks like a Miami hurricane chalice, good growth congrats.

I have one but it keeps being knocked around by my CUC so it gets angry, but they are faster growers for chalices. I heard they can get quite big but it takes forever.

I guess I'm into more "flowy" LPS kind of corals....this chalice kinda looks like a wad of already chewed bubble gum to me. I am glad the frag plug isn't showing now. it's on the darkest purple coralline covered LR in my tank so it doesn't stand out very noticeably.
Hope someone has a really good looking one to post a picture of.

Here's the only one I have. I won it in a contest. Those pictures on the internet sure look bigger than the little 1/2 inch square I got. It's about four months old. It's about 2"x2 1/2" now. Must really like my tank. I really like it, but wouldn't pay for it if I had to.

I Think chalices have some of the best color of any corals. These are not mine, they were taken by a friend of his tank.
