So why did they lose favor? Just lost in the latest chalice craze? Is it because many of them are slow growing?

actually fast growing
Very fast growing in reef terms

Long term reefing moves through phases

For a while everyone HAS to have zoas, then scolys, then favia then Micros or then acans now chalice you'll see with time and the next hyped import heck right now Aussie SPS are taking off but probably wont become popular due to high needs... stuff like zoas and LPS are easy to keep and become popular.

Well I'm glad they have lost their popularity because I have gotten some really nice ones for a decent price :). They are pretty easy to care for at least the ones I have had have done very well.

I just got my first one off of Ebay last week. They are way different than I thought they would be. The polyps on mine are the size of average sized Zoa's, are they all this way?

I would say yes to this one, at least most the ones I have seen in person.
