Many years ago that chalice went for 80 dollars easy and my wife and I found a store that had it listed as a random chalice for 20 dollars.

That looks nice. How is it with its neighbors?

It wasn't bad at all but I have seen sweepers up to 4", just not very aggressive unless something got close. Mycedium, IME, was the most aggressive chalice coral with serious sweepers.

Cool good to know. When I picked this one up there was a green chalice next to it nuking its neighbor lol

Are you still using the current USA leds? How do you like them? I’m thinking of getting them for my tank

Took your advice and moved the MH. It definitely is a lot fluffier in lower light. Hoping to get those colors back as well
