Monster Mash?

[TCK Corals]

I have a chalice that i brought a few years back and wanted to know if it the real deal Monster Mash. It sure is a slow grower compare to the Red Watermelon and Tyree Pink.
Here is a photo so feel free to comment on this.

the red doesn't seem to be as bright as the monster mash.... but it could just be the photo

Looks similer,I dont see as much as a green rim,but that doesnt mean its not there.

And Tyree Pink and Red grow slow for you?Odd

No green rim?

No Austin I mean compare to the Tyree Red and Pink Watermelon this thing grows real slow. I have it under medium low light. I am gonna move it to higher lighting see if i can get it to color up.
It does have the green rim it just curl under.

I see,cause both od those chalcies grow so fast,we sell them for $50 for a 2-3 eye frag around here.

This thing looks really slow.But I agree,the Red just dosent seem bright like the ones I have seen,but that dosent mean anythign at all.

Lighting and camera skills play a big role in that. Here's a pic of mine. It's not super bright.

[Triggerman77]

on that pic i have it in the sandbed under 250w phoenix 14k with t5's...it is getting a lot of light.my tank is only 15" tall and the light is 10" above water..
i have leds and t5s now for a month its still in the same place...no change in color..its always been the same color eversince i got it:)

I've had it be bright pink in my tank too before. Like I said, it can vary depending on all sorts of factors. These frags were ridiculously bright in my tank. I don't think my current piece gets enough light...acro growth is blocking more and more light. I may move it up.

How much for a frag right now?

Sorry it's not a real MM, look at SDguys for a real one. I wish I still had mine.. was one of the very very first owners of the coral.

The original colony came from Chin Monster from San Diego. Couple reefers in Orange, CA got a frag from him. The colony belong to him was dead.
