Thats what it was labeled as. I bought it from a ebay seller out of Florida. It was a WYSIWYG sale. But looking back at the listing the picture in the add shows its green with green eyes. Maybe just my lights. Not sure

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

I'm not sure of a name. I bought if from a coral shop in Charlotte, NC. It was a bit more expensive then normal, but I had the same reaction - I really like it. Only problem is that this one grows the slowest. It is a little bigger now as that image is about a month old, but its taken years to fill out that plug.

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 :)

Miami hurricane and goldeneye? These are probably my 2 favorites. The flesh on the goldeneye just seems so surreal to me.

Thanks, yes miami hurricane, not sure about the other, the store just said pink and orange. I don’t believe it is golden eye because the eyes are more orange than the bright yellow so it appears more like flamethrower than golden eye.

Depends on how you define dominate:)

Chalices definitely dominate the $$$ of corals in my tank, but only take up a small corner right now. So probably like 70% of the coral budget, but only 5% of the space.

One day it will be both!

I'm hoping to have all chalice and favia in my next tank, so the $$$ vs starting size is noticable.

I have about a half dozen more but these are the best looking
Love the ASD! They don't have anything that looks like that at the moment but I will keep my eyes peeled. How fast are they growing?
