Have this chalice for around 7 years and never knew the name. Is it Superman Chalice?? I can't get the orange speckles with my camera. Under T5 actinics they the speckles are orange and the eyes are magenta. Oh by the way the mother colony is almost 11" top to bottom and 9" left to right. Thanks.

Doesn't look like a superman to me. Superman chalice has become a generic name for a rich blue as base color with large red eyes and yellow tips around the corallites only. Many have a green rind, with the label superman water melon.

Here is a old pic of my superman...yours kind of reminds me of a no name I had years ago...I had it around the same time you said you got yours so it kind of makes since...corals always come in waves then go away for a while as they close and open collection sites...the eyes did get bigger and loked just like yours in color as it grew.




Here is the no name I thought looks similar to yours

The hologram chalice as such an orange overlay you can not see the blue base. It looks yellow orange with blue rim. If the hologram was grown in very low light i guess the blue base would be more evident.

My chalice looks like these pictures but I just can't get the proper color with my camera. I'm so confused what chalice this is. Had it so long and have no name. Hahaha.

Where did you get it from. If it is a named chalice they would know. It can be very hard to find so many un named ones look close.

 

[Reefer93105]

I got it from a LFS that's been closed 6 years or more ago.

Cortez corals in Carpinteria CA. They have a store in Fullerton too but I think that's closed too.

Go look at aqua SDs live sale thread for saturday. I feel like I have seen something exactly like that in their teaser pics. Forget what name they had
