Okay, here is the embarrassing part. I thought this thing was already dead seeing I did not get home until about 9pm the night of the meeting. I see no eyes and the tips are white. I guess things can only go up from here.

chalices are pretty resilient. If you are real concerned about white edges, cut them off. I can tell you I have had a chalice get partially buried in the sand and die back. As soon as it was unburied, the skeleton started to get grown back over. Maybe even more easily since the coral didn't have to grow the skeleton.

Won't have a pic till tomorrow but looks like I'm beginning to get another mouth. Starting to get the faint color of orange in another spot. May just be my imagination lol. Hopefully not I'll get a pic up tomorrow to get everyone's opinion

Sorry for just posting now, but I am out It looked very bad the day after it was in the tank. It's 100% gone now. I think it was in the cold too long.

Here's mine. It spent a week under my rocks before I was able to find it. I thought I had lost it. I have move it to my frag tank since then it has started to grow skin over se of the scheleton and is now overflowing off the sides... I have only done one water change. Haven't made any other adjustments. Its a little brown due to being in the dark.

When I first got it:


Now:

My eyes seems to got a little bigger. Took it off the frag plug and mounted to rock.

Pic sucks. Got a new mirror less camera to Try out. Hoepfully I can get better shots

 

[Flame Angel]

I am out as well.

Two weeks and there is pretty much nothing left.

I think mine was in the car too long as well. Six hours, no eyes and very rusty looking in color. The structure seem to be building, but the flesh just deteriorated.

Okay, here is the embarrassing part. I thought this thing was already dead seeing I did not get home until about 9pm the night of the meeting. I see no eyes and the tips are white. I guess things can only go up from here.

Took a picture of our frags this morning with just the blue led strip on. Looks like my frag is up to 6-7 eyes and KidsX up to two:




ETA - No change to position of either frag. Still doing just a 10G water change each week. No dosing. My T5s are about 8 months old; have some new ones on order and will replace them when they come in. In the RSM C-250 media rack I'm running Chemipure Elite, Purigen, and when I have it, a chunk of Polypad Filter.

 

[higorc]

Finally getting my Chalice picture up. It had 1 eye when I got it and now I can see another one popping up.




I am running a basic setup up since I moved a couple months ago. 2 MP40s, sump, skimmer, 8 T5s (Pacific Sun Diuna), Manual water Top-Offs, no additivies.
