NEW LPS ADDITION (HOLLYWOOD STUNNER)

[garra671]

so i live in california (bay area) and i think now i have officially gone to every aquarium store within about 30miles, and today i went to this place called (neptune aquatics) and picked up a gorgeous hollywood stunner chalice for only 90$!!! let me know what you think. the mushroom is the size of my thumb nail for reference.

That's a nice big shapely piece. Hollywood stunner is an LPS and grows like a weed for one. Be careful where you put it because it will encrust to the rocks and glass where ever it can. It can aslo send out very long sweeper tentacles at night stinging other corals around it. Up to six inches in some cases

also thats why i have it in the center where its not near anything else. when i rearrange my liverock im gonna frag it in half, since its nearly impossible to place anywhere else right now due to its shape.

Chalices are definitely LPS. +1 to all the mentioned above.

I live in Dallas but travel a lot for work...especially out to San Jose. I try to stop by Neptune Aquatics every time I can. Probably one of the best stores I have seen.

yeh they are pretty good. the guy that runs it is a little bit (loud) lol. but yeh i origionally went there to get the guys opinion on a ap700 vs the radion xr30's i feel like he was a little biased due to being on that commercial for the new ap700 on youtube. but side by side the ap700 seemed to outperform the radion and he even offered to sell me his radions so who knows.
