ACF sent me a picture of the momma and I jumped out of my seat when I saw that blue eye.

LFS got this piece in a few weeks ago -- pretty awesome (orange, yellow, blue, green and a small section of red at the bottom of the picture) and figured I'd share it:

I actually balked at that one. :( I peaked too early at RaP (I guess) and bought a similar looking frag from Reef Raft. Perhaps they're all cut from the same giant mother colony and it will develop some of the better coloration as pictured above, but for now it's just the copper/orange and bright green. I've seen similar chalices being sold by Cherry Corals and AquaSD; and, you're right, they definitely pop under blue LEDs! I just wanted to share a little larger piece since all mine are still frags.
