I cant grow a chalice to save my life. Never understood what I do wrong. No problem with most other coral, just have killed a few too many chalice frags that I gave up.
 
Small frags are hard to grow. I lost several small frags for no reason, they take like 2/3 months to acclimate and then it takes off.
 
Nice! What kind of Rainbow is it? Where did you get it?
 
It's a Rainbow Crush chalice. I bought the whole colony from a fellow reefer. This frag has all the colors and looks very bright. They're a fast grower too. My buddy has a frag of 3 eyes last year around April and now it's already in a 5" disc.
 
Here's my first two rainbow chalices. TOP is WWC TNT BOTTOM is CB Crazy clown. TNT has been in my system since December 26 and the crazy clown I have had for almost 3 weeks.
