I got to see a side by side pic of all these! any one have one?

I got a lot of the old school pieces before every coral out there had to have a name and I can tell you that the original pink, tyree red, Bazooka Joe, and strawberry are all unique and different from each other in their own way.

Absolutely! I got my original Watermelon directly from Jon Roncloa many years ago. This was way before the craze of selling 1 "eye" for hundreds of $$$. Bazooka Joe and strawberry are different in coloration, but the original is by far the brightest one in the tank.

Picture of my original Jon Roncola melon from from many years ago.

So the above picture is the classy WM, AC strawberry and the UI? Also did they all know it was the same when they bought it or only the texas wholesaler?

This is my picture of the original Watermelon frag from Jon Roncola grown from a small frag that I bought from him many years ago. At that time, I was not aware of any others out there as chalices were not considered "collectibles". The others, name-wise, came many years later and I have no idea of their origins. If you look at Tyree's site description here, you will see that it is acknowledged that the original came from Reef Tec that was owned by Ron Joncola but provided by Hugo to Tyree.

That is a great write up, really helps explain what I needed. Thanks again everyone for clearing this up for me, hopefully with in the next 2-3 months I can get myself I really nice, good sized Bazooka Joe frag, maybe even the Jayda's and Original Watermelon.

The three chalices I mentioned earlier are all the same chalice. The classy is the ultimate insane which is the aquatic collection strawberry watermelon.

Is that the chalice I gave you a year ago, during the swap? The AC Watermelon? LOL...

I knew the Ultimate's insane was the same as the AC strawberry and kraylen's pink ghost WM, but this is the first I've heard that it is also the same as the Classy WM as well. If this is true I guess I can stop bugging my friend for his little bugger of classy wm as I already have the strawberry/ghost haha.
