Me too, that is an awesome piece

What's everyone's experience with growth rates? I hear chalice are slow growers...

Thanks guys. That piece came in from Australia about a year or so ago, and I was lucky enough to get part of it. It likes more light than most chalice, IMO, which is a good thing. Its growing under a 250 watt MH in my display.
Most chalice are moderate/slow growers. There are exceptions, but that has been my experience overall. Most like medium/lower light also. Allot of them will brown out if they are getting too much light.
Here's another one for the thread.

here's what spanko's chalice is going to end up looking like:

This is the type of chalice that has a plating growth pattern, similar to a monti cap. I *think* it's an Echinopora ? anyone know whether this is correct?

Yep, Echinopora lamellosa. I have a True Tyree and it looks extremely similar to yours.

Coraljunky, thank you, that's what I thought. I am pretty sure mine is a descendent of that Tyree piece as well. I got this chalice and a Montipora Undata from the same guy who said he couldn't prove lineage, but was told when he bought that it was Tyree. It definitely has "the look"...

My Australian Echino

I have some of that as well. Mine originally came from RandyO. I think he got it from Tyree also. I love the way it grows.
Nice aussie piece rebel.

 

[sula]

I like the pink ones too, might be a while before these grow up....

 

[paintballer768]

I love those watermelon chalices so much, the colors are great. Rebel, I didnt know you had one

 

[bizzleb01]

Here is my first one. Just got it today. I don't know what kind it is or anything. Will they spread onto the sand? It's starting to grow around the frag plate it's on. Do you feed them at all or just lighting?

 

[mr_x]

yes, at night when the lights go out , wait till the tentacles come out, and turn the flow off..and feed away!

 

[bizzleb01]

Do you feed the same as most LPS? Mysis, krill and cyclo?

 

[petjunkie]

There's three in here, large one in back, alien eye below it and red one to the lower left, apparently the best pic of the alien eye I have
