I am ready for some new babies. I have some pretty nice chalices and am looking for a few new ones to decorate my frag rack. :)
I have:

"Named" Chalices
Tyree Miami Hurricane (already fragged)
TEC Original WM (already fragged)
Blue Magic (would frag)
ATL Red (would frag)
BGM (too small)
Tyree Red (too small)
Tyree Pink (too small)
Tubbs AE (too small)
ATL Rainbow (too small)

My own finds w/ pics.

Mountain Dew (kinda needs a name I like that though.)
This is by far the brightest chalice I have ever seen. My buddies frag was brighter than the CB Tash 3G side by side in his frag tank.
Bottom center parent and upper left backup colony grown from 1 eye frag. Backup colony could be had with the right trade.

I have a few more but they best ones are in the above pic so.
Punk Rock Girl (bottom right)
Riddler (middle left)
Strawberry Lemondrop WM (center below frag rack) Tyree Pink above and to the left. I like mine better. :)

I also have for trade:
Tyree Cyphastrea Japonica
Babys Breath Favia

What I am looking for:
CB Trash 3G Mummy Eye
WWC Toxic Pie
Pink *******
Flamethrower
Beakerbobs Flyin Saucer
I like WM's but if it is nice I will entertain it.
 
That bright green one has always impressed me. Nice piece. I wish I had some to trade but all mine are still growing out. Good luck with the trades.
 
Thanks. It is super bright. You just never know what you will find at the LFS. :) It grows well so it should be around for a while.
 
First is an updated pic of the Mountain Dew Chalice.

Mountain Dew looks a lot like Vivid's Riddler. Nice pieces
Thanks. It does look like the Vivid Riddler, only brighter. :) Could not resist that one. I have not seen the Vivid in person yet but from the pics the colors just are not as bright. Dr. Mac has a Vivid look alike that looks like the Vivid in the pics; I saw that one in person and it is not even close. I know mine was a wild colony. I use a Droid to take my pics so they are not the best. In the below Actinic shot the Mt. Dew stands out and in the pic are: Tyree BGM (soccerbag) and Tyree Pink WM (soccerbag) right in front. Also TEC Original WM (CCA), Blue Magic (coraldiva), Miami Hurricane (Nep Aqa), Tyree Red WM, My Riddler, my Strawberry Lemondrop WM, my Punk Rock Girl (blue base green eyes), and an UNK. WM.

Is the TEC pink or more purple? I ask because mine was one of the brightest pink watermelons I have seen and I got it from Hung at Bay Corals. Yours looks more like a purple base. I lost mine and would like another but not if its not bright pink like the one I had.
I am not insinuating its not the TEC watermelon by the way. I am just seeing if maybe there are 2 WM's from TEC and I want to be sure I get the same one that I lost is all. By the way, that Mountain Dew one you have is sweet.

Thanks not sure but maybe the Pink one was just TEC WM and this one has original in it. My google search showed mine first and I found a Pink one without the original part. It has a blue/purple base, with reddish bumps around mature yellow eyes. A green inner rim with a blue thin outter rim. I see alot of nice stuff and as far as purple WM's go this is the best one I have seen. I always thought personally that it looked more like the ECC WM but that is what they sold it to me as so... I would seem there are two diff ones maybe a name variation, I honestly don't know. It is bad though. If you are looking for pink my Starwberry Lemondrop is a nice Pink base and the eye color is a lemoney yellow. A good one for a trade too.
 
The Mountain Dew backup colony is spoken for. :) I will be fragging the parent this weekend before I sent the backup out just to make sure all goes well before I send that one out. I still have the others; but will be setting up a display at my local meet this weekend so speak up if you want something. :)
 
What are you wanting for a frag of that MT. dew chalice? I too have a TEC Mellon but bright pink, frag is ready, Emerald mummy eye, TEC molten lava flow, Area 51, South Beach, OG mummy eye. LMK
 
The TEC WM can be more reddish purple under more subdued lighting, in my experience. Cool stuff. That strawberry lemondrop is a keeper :)
 
Any pics of the Japonica?

Thanks. It is a favorite of mine too. I could not remember if I sent you one of those or not. lol. I lose track of where things go; I usually only try to keep up w/ where they came from. How is the TEC looking for you?
