LE Event Horizon Favia aka PPE Chalice/JC Prism Chalice

[bkoppes]

I got this from Nanofins as a single polyp. Really a nice coral. One of my favorites. Wanted to share a picture

It is not a chalice but was named it in the past. I don't really care what people want to refer to it as.

Very nice colony. Looks amazing! What light do you have yours in.

Here is mines.

 

[bkoppes]

Thanks. Wow, definately looks different. I took the first picture out of water with a flash. Second picture is taken under only actinic with no flash. I have 2x175w 15k Iwasaki MH's over my 75g with actinic supplement.

Very nice colony. Looks amazing! What light do you have yours in.

Here is mines.

When I first got mine, it was bleached. So I always kept it on the bottom of my tank with low light, but the colors turned out very nice. I have mines on 250w phoenix mh w/ t5 combo.

Looks very nice. Definately looks different. It is so funny how the same coral looks different, shows different colors, under different light.

I have mine in the middle under the cross bar in the sand at the bottom of the tank also with a little shade.

Very nice growth.

Thanks much. I got 1 polyp in June 2009, so this is 7 months of growth.

Hey bkoppes ,your colony looks awesome, this is by far my favorite coral. I got 1 eye from juice, but it was in my biocube when I was lazily dosing magnesium for hair algae, it hated that, Started melting, went own in size to less than the center eye and turned solid purple. Complete coral hissy fit. I tried iodine dips, but it made it worse. Eventually I got a new tank I put her in the shade and left it alone. Now it is no bigger than it was when I first got it, but now I got 5 eyes.

bk how long did it take you to achieve that growth from 1 polyp?

 

[mike_dani]

Where do I get one.....That is awesome

 

[pech29]

Mine's gone from 2 eyes at the end of September to 5 eyes as of today. I'll see if I can get some good pics tonight Everyone's is looking great! It is definitely my favorite and prized piece.

 

[Nanofins]

Nice Brett. Looking real good! This is one piece that just gets better with time. The pattern and colors don't really acheive their full potential until you're up over 8-10 polyps, IMO.

Love mines as well, not source through zach but a local in my area. Came in as a hitchhiker.

Yours looks great too. Looks like it has more red to it. What lighting is yours under?

Hehe, that piece from Purpleup is from me too. It's hard to have too much of this coral though. I've got like three mini-colonies and one big colony right now, and I love looking at them!

 

[BayCorals]

Haha, I guess they are all coming from you. Can't wait to see my new ones.

Thanks Zack.
