I like CHALICES, BIG and ROUND

Very nice chalices, Im a bit of a chalice nut myself and just starting to collect a few. Have a small tank that I started Jan 1 and looking to populate with mostly chalices, cant wait. Any chance you could drop a FTS on us so we can see your collection? It must be amazing from all the pictures you've posted.
 
beautiful collection! I watch the reefbuilders video of Elite Reef Denver Mike's 30 gallon often to see his chalices, yours are just as nice!
 
Here’s my chalice section

Chalices are the hardest corals for me to grow! I hear low placemat then I hear high placement! I bought an expensive rainbow and had it low acclimating and was browning out big time so I moved it to my frag rack up higher a little below the wave maker like 5 inches but off to the side! I started to color up like crazy but losing tissue!

150ish par and they should do fine.

Contrary creatures chalice.
my biggest doesn't like much light at all(8 inch across egg nog) & lives down in a dark corner where the detritus blows into & Its really fat & puffy around edges.slow growth but great colour.
My raja colony has grown from 5 to 13 eyes in 3 months up high on a frag rack next to acro's.
I've had rainbow frags that have not grown a quarter inch in one year regardless of placement.
Odd things!
