Sweet how's the growth on it

Purchased it on August 13 with one mouth and it was roughly 1/3 of its present size. With two additional mouths that have developed in the last roughly two months it is beginning to grow more quickly . I have it mounted on a 1.5" frag disk.

Wow wish mine would grow like that

What lighting do you have it under

Honestly, I think you can. All of my chalices grow relatively quickly, you just have to feed them. At this time I have several small new chalices in the tank like the crush and I feed them nearly ever day.

What lighting do you have it under

Radion G3P at 93% peak

how do you feed the mysis, with hand or squirt with turkey baster?

Thanks

When I have a chalice this small I will carefully place a smaller fragment of Mysis on each mouth using a long pair of tweezers with flow off so that the chalice can grab ahold of it. My larger chalices I still use tweezers, but liberally toss a number of Mysis on... again with flow eliminated. Hope that helps!
