Chalice Show-Off Thread!!!

[Lowsingle]

I doubt they are collected that deep......on most dives that I have been on you only see sponges and NP corals below 100 feet or so......that is just from my own diving experience and I certainly haven't dove everywhere, although I wish I could!

cheers,
Darren

Excuse me if i am wrong but arn't all chalices pretty much considered "deepwater" collected. I read a long article awhile back about the collection of chalices in australia. They were collecting them all in the 150 to 300 foot deep range. They actually had to give the corals decompression time because if they brought them straight up they would instantly melt.

it's obviously a deep water chalice (similer to all of the ones coming in to a certian wholesaler), and from mine, as well as my friends experience, when we purchase deep waters, they wont grow near as fast.

I'm not saying it wont be a slow grower, but i am pretty sure it will be, it looks alot like the charlie sheen that i had gotten from kris, and that thing grew farily slow. Most deep waters do, with the exception of a few...i'm not trying to argue, i'm just stating my experience with chalices similer to it, that is all.

lol..

SD Actuary, who is RNegret? Thanks.

Do a seller search on the "popular" online auction site and you will find him.

Excuse my Chalice Newb-ness, not top quality stuff, but I just wanted to tag along so I dont have to keep searching for this thread! maybe one day, I can afford to be amongst the Elite Chalice Collectors in R2R... just gotta win the lottery first! but heres some of my "poorman's Chalice" for now:

posted this one on a Chalice ID thread... still not too sure what the name is, but I like it alot:

this tiny little sucker is one of my favorite so far...was told its Aztec Gold Chalice? :

This was Brown, and cruddy looking when I bought it. took a chance and got it for a steal of a price, took it home and this is what it turned out to be under my Radion!:

yet another No namer, pic doesnt show the colors too well but it has pink/purple body w/ bright pink eyes, and hints of green and blue, anyone know of something similar?:

Is rnegret cornbread? He seems to sell all CB stuff. He has some pretty nice pieces on auction.

 

[Spaceman Spliff]

Yes he is Cornbred.

Nice colonies ReeFreshing. That third one is gonna be a looker over time and I like the gold one too.

Check out my Tyree Volcano Chalice frag. Its getting some sick color and a blue rim under good light....and those nasty Rainbow eyes. It will be cool to see what happens with this one as it adjusts to captivity :)

Caudill~the colors around the eyes are developing very nicely. looking forward to seeing updates

 

[SteezySPS]

Yes he is Cornbred.

thats a cool name. i should call myself Ricebred since I'm asian. lol

 

[SteezySPS]

Hey Scott, is that different than the SC dynomite?

No, a different chalice.

 

[Gills&Roots]

Another new addition. I Love to hate them, but they are so nice. Finally the wife is starting to like them to.
