Show me your chalice dominant tanks!

[spiraling]

Hi all,
I have been in this hobby a while and am always mesmerized by chalice. But oh boy they can take up real estate. I have a 35 gal I'm setting up and am thinking of chalice dominant. Maybe a few other corals to fill in around, but the main focal will be several chalice.

Does anyone have tanks like this?

What are your favorite (reasonably priced) chalice. I love the jellybean, but several Ben Franklins for a barely visible piece isn't in my budget.

Pics please!

Miami Hurricane is definitely one of my favorite chalices. Usually around $30 even online for a good sized frag. Punisher corals as a couple right now. Here my bad boy :)

Very pretty. That's the one I have. It hasn't grown at all and I thought it was in too low of light (it was shaded) so I moved it yesterday. Mine doesn't have the yellow yet, just orange eyes.

I had a toxic chalice years ago I loved too.

WWC has some really pretty and surprisingly affordable ones right now. If they’re cheap (ish) on WWC then they should be pretty affordable from anywhere else. Maybe try posting a WTB for chalice frags and see what happens?

Here is my chalice garden. They do grow slow, but with time can really fill in a tank.

Example, the large one with green eyes once receded to a single, tiny eye. It's now 8"x7". My only regret is that as a bare bottom tank, i'm going to have a hard time fragging it without destroying it.

I have just 2 but they are growing nicely.

I LOVE your pink one with the green eyes. What is it?

I have considered it! I don't always trust independent sellers though.

There are a few sites which have some nice ones. WWC, Cherry, Tital Gardens, Boom all have reasonably priced ones right now. Shipping gets me though. I'm looking for one source with several.

Very pretty! Is the top right orange sherbet?

It would be very interesting to see a tank nearly full of chalice coral. FTS, if possible, though I do like seeing the chalice gardens too!

I believe there’s someone on here with a chalice and acan lagoon? Let me see if I can find the build thread again

I was supposed to get a Hollywood stunner chalice out of the WWC live sale, but I'm not 100% sure it is a Hollywood stunner after receiving it... I didn't pay a truckload for it so it's whatever... Just got done with my photo acclimation period so maybe the colors will change a little... Idk

It's green with light green eyes...

those are some beauties! What is the one in the front center? I like the mulit colors on it. It looks like you have a bunch of nice rainbow ones. Where do you get them?

That sounds right. blue green with green eyes are what the photos look like.
