Anyone ever got a frag of this just wanted to know if any has pics of it, and if so, could you please post it. I just wanted to see if it really keeps those colors it has online with the cherry red skin with the bluish eyes.

Here's mine. Had it about 8 months maybe. I think it has stayed pretty true to color. You can judge yourself. Pics taken with point and shoot flash and 20 K Radium no flash.

What are you gluing your chalices to Dave?

i saw nicoles (coraldiva) her pics of the chalice looks good still...red base with the bluish eyes.....maybe the red is more better in person than pics...i hope the eyes are like electric blue...

I bought a 10' length of clear 1/2" PVC tube. I cut this into 1" lengths and epoxy them to the rock. The frag plug tail fits into these, and I can move the chalices around for light or flow changes. This method also makes the chalice grow out, so fragging is easier, with only the chalice skeleton needing to be cut. Grows like a plate this way beyond the edges of the frag plug. Similar to a chalice that grows on the sandbed.

The PVC holders get covered in coralline eventually, and they can easily be pulled off if I ever need to.
