most expensive(and sweetest) chalice I have ever seen!

[Hypertek99]

I'd be happy too if someone bidded a billion dollars on one of my corals.

ktar, great coral. For those that say it is overpriced. I'd say no. People spend more money on corals half as pretty that have a marketing name to them. ktar's chalice is by far the coolest I've ever seen. If someone can get those colors just by lighting please show me how.

Love that Chalice

I can say I was one of them hype bidders.I bid $600.00 and lost it on ebay.Anyway I talked Ktar into selling me one frag and he is one upstanding guy.My frag is doing well and I will have pictures of it soon.when my wife frist saw it she said she didn't care what it cost that she wanted it.What momma wants momma gets.LOL!Best looking chalice in the hobby.

Sara i notice that i am losing color also because i just switch from T5 to metal halides and it not as nice. i am thinking of chaning back to T5.

So you had this chalice under T5's? If so, what bulb combo are you running. The coral is pretty much a dark rose color and has none of the stunning color you had. I figured it was my choice of Metal Halide bulb is all in my prop tank. I'm thinking of changing out to all T5's in the display tank and would like to move this there if I can get the same color you had ... it's worth it!

Anyone else notice these 2 pictures match up on overlay? I see the second picture pop up on forums - it looks like a misrepresentation..

i believe it looks as pictured under actinics only. You can view all angles of this coral on coralpedia.com and dont think that $300 is too much to pay. 6 months ago a frag sold on ebay for almost double that $650. It is by far one of the rarest chalice around....... Congrats to Ktar for keeping such a promising speciman alive and well in the hobby.

Wow, ktar really did lose quite a section with die-off! It's a great coral and buy what you like is what I say!

 

[oceanparadise1]

it looks BETTER in person...thats KTAR melting pot chalice and it will probably for for about 600....that thing is amazing and its not photoshoped ive seen the real thing in person

 

[JuniorMC8704]

looks like a good rep to me.

Ktar isnt trying to pull anything, hes just got the best chalice in the world thats all.

KTAR, have you had any luck nursing this baby back? I know the last time you told me that a buddy had a frag in his tank that was doing well, the hardcore chalice collectors would really love to see this coral back on the scene again.

 

[ReeferBill]

nice coral

 

[dknuckles]

That chalice is beautiful:still_dreaming:finally found 1 I like better than my Living Lava chalice.
Nice job Ktar!

 

[ofblong]

Kev, theres a few frags out there

 

[TCK Corals]

It getting a lot of TLC rite now and it is starting to grow again. Not to mention it took almost 3 month after fragging to start growing again. Ian has receive my last frag and i will not be fragging the chalice until as least a year. I will take a good pictures once i get the color to pop again.
