I just received this in the mail and it is a beauty but it came detached from the plug which was glued to the bottom of a tupperwear container and rolled around. will it be ok? what should I do if anything?

here is the damage...


here are a couple shots under 10k lighting. it is sweet!

that chalice is a fast grower for me and usually heals within a couple of days.
just leave it on lowlight, i wouldnt leave it on the sand tho. put a thin rock under it so the tissue is not touching the sand.

Thanks a bunch. when you say low light, do you mean shaded? I have a 20" deep tank with gen 2 radion pros at 40%. I am not sure if 40% is too intense for chalices. lights are on the brackets which I believe are 11" of f the top of the tank.

Yep it looks like a Miami Hurricane, a real tolerant piece. I have mine in medium light and flow.

That damage would not worry me. If your water qual is to their liking it will heal in a week or 2.

I'm growing my chalices on frag
disc laying on the sand bed, 24 to 26" below AI Hydras running at 50%.
