I have seen very tiny frags of big name chalices (Jason Fox's, WWC, Vivids) but not really many large colonies of them.

Would love to see some.

I don't like a lot of small frags growing in my tank either! Let them grow out!

Here are two of mine, submitted to Steve Tyree this year, "Fist Full O' Dollahs". I put a piece of eggcrate on it for a size reference. It's been my tank for about 18 months.

Wow...that's huge! Looks about 8" - 10" across, definitely one of the bigger ones I've seen.

Those two pics were taken at least 6 months ago. I measured it the other day when someone was asking about it and it's just about 12" across now. It's a fast grower. The only thing I don't like about it is when you frag it the frags seem to brown out for a few weeks before they color back up like the mother colony.
