Lights getting low this evening and thought this piece was looking nice. You can see it from across the room-it glows . Space Invader chalice from Cornbred.

Thanks!...This was sold to me as a Flaming Bugatti, but I have not seen any with this type of rainbow coloration. (I did not buy from Cornbred) I think there were some posts from years ago that have some similar colors, but I don't see any like this out there now. I may have gotten a real nice frag compared to others of the same chalice... I think if this thing grows out with this type of rainbow it would be a good example why some frags of the same type deserve more $'s than others of the same...
And its worth noting that chalice, like other LPS and SPS can color up differently under different light spectrum, intensity and trace such as the RedSea Colors products.

Sure that's a flame thrower? Its red, has the orange eyes but the color striations on the rim suggest that in time it going to be a whole lot more interesting than a typical flame thrower. ;) Nice find!

That's what the LFS sold it to me as, my tank lights are about 14K so it wont flourece the same as most pics taken under the extreme blue I see.
Here's a top pic of it, there is some blue in there as well. My phone camera doesn't pick it up though.
