I usually post in the photography forum, but thought I'd plop a few pics over here.

Very nice pictures. Are there different kinds of chalice where some are encrusting or some are plating or is it just a matter of how and where they are mounted?

Are these taken through the glass? Or top down? Or...?

generally encrusting, but will plate when they hit the end of whatever they're encrusting on. This Raja Rampage (large green chalice) started encrusting, but as it grew downward it plated out

Is that your name for it? Ive never heard of an orange peel rainbow and honestly that's one of the nicest rainbows I've ever seen. Your wwc stellaria is a showstopper as well.

thanks for the compliments!! The original source for the Orange Peel was Corn Bread Corals (CB Orange Peel). I got my piece from Brandon from @Zoanthids . They had a live sale last weekend and I saw a couple of the orange peels at pretty crazy cheap prices (I think they were going for like $275). Been a great grower for me and it's CRAZY bright in the tank. Hard to actually photograph because it is so bright. Got it at the last RAP in Orlando back in April, 2019 as a tiny, pinky fingernail, sized frag. It's more than 2" across now. Got the Stellaria at the same time (also from Brandon) and it's as big as a baseball now.
