Awesome thread, I hope more people join in!
I got this as a little 2" unnamed chalice frag last year...now it's more than 14" across! I have to frag it soon as it's long sweepers are damaging or killing everything around it! I believe it's a Hollywood Stunner...
(Sorry, wish I had a better camera!)

That thing is amazing! I've seen something very similar if not identical to that but it wasn't considered a Chalice. I only mention it because I don't believe Chalices scroll like that. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

This is an AWESOME looking Chalice! I usually don't like them but this one is cool with the different growth pattern. Hook me up with a frag ;)

You don't see it much in the hobby, but large mature chalice colonies form levels and can scroll some. Nice!

Definitely Hollywood stunner I've seen several do this

Yep. I didn't know it myself until I saw mine start to. But I guess I probably have more and larger colonies than some do.

nice!!!! i just got a *** of th mh it had a dead spot in a corner and loks like its going should i frag of the dead part or what can i do to stop the tissue loss.

Dave3112 · Sep 10, 2011

You can frag it off or leave it. Thats up to you I have done both. Just move it to a spot with the lowest flow you can and try to feed it a SMALL amount of food. I hope you save it. The MH is one of my favorite chalices and grows really well too, once it settles in to your system.
