Yeah, tought to find one now a days

Grew great for me for the short time i had it, but died for no reason

Agreed on both counts. I was able to salvage a small piece, but mine did the same thing, died for no reason. Jason told me he has had similar experiences.

How would you say the colors of your Split Decisions compare with those of your Bahama Mama? I have a very recently aquired Bahama Mama frag sitting right next to my Split Decisions, and they are VERY similar. I would say that in my tank...the body of the Split Decisioins is slightly more pink while that of the Bahama Mama is more orange, and the rim/eyes of the Split Decisions are more yellow while those of the Bahama Mama are more gold. I've only had the Bahama Mama a couple weeks though. It could change to look EXACTLY like the Split Decisions which has been there for 6 months. I was just wondering if they were distinctly different in your system.

Oh yeah...the insides of the eyes/mouths on the Split Decisions are neon green when open. I haven't noticed this with the Bahama Mama yet.

Nice chalices! Funny that the two of you say that about the Split Decisions as mine did the same thing. However, I lost all three eyes I had.

E,

The piltie looks good. We ended up losing ours, it was one of my favorites after it settled in.

I have had two bahama mama frags and have lost both of them (both were small frags that never grew and eventually wilted to nothing).....I love that morph, but have had no luck with it at all....if I purchase another frag it will only be a good sized frag.

I was at his place not too long ago and he's got one frag of the JF Split Decision that's doing well. I love that coral! LOL

From what I've heard both these chalices prefer VERY low light. Both mine are completely shaded by a rock arch (under 100 PAR) and they both seem happy. Nuocmam was over the other day and pointed out the rim on my Split Decisions is half as thick on the side that gets a little bit of direct light.

I didnt have both pieces at the same time, but IMO deff different
