Ya this coral has very yellow eye's. Does yours have the orange rim. But what I really love about this chalice is the striations around the eye's. They don't get it till they mature. It's like no chalice I have ever seen. I have been growing it and keeping it to myself for almost a year now. I actually picked it up in a trade and it was not very big.

chalice

I wasn't really comparing the two, I like yours better. ;p Yours looks like a different kind of chalice too since its so smooth. Wish you coulda seen the chalice collection I had a few years ago when I had my 180. I had to give most of them up because they take up a lot of prime space when you only have prop systems. That was before echinos became so popular of course! ;p

My oldest is my hot lava.

Thats a sweet piece as well but I think that could be put in a different categories type then watermelon as it looks allot different and should be characterized deferent for such a awesome piece heres mine for comparison.

Favia Freak,

Are you talking about my BPC LE Flame Thrower. Just want to make sure since there are several pics of other corals before your post.

Thanks Bro,

I just went downstairs and fed him. I'm going to try and feed him every day and see if I can't get him to grow a little faster ;)

I will be fraging him soon. Just have to figure out the best way to get him off that rock. I'll be sure to let everyone know when I do it.

I'm going to put one together tonight. I have added the coral to my website under BPC most wanted collection. I will post the waiting list under the description of the coral so everyone can see where there at.
