    I was attempting to get a picture of the new chalice for our local grow-out competition and I got this awesome picture. It didn't have the right angle for the measurement, but it the coral looked so good, I wanted to share!!

    I really like this piece, I hope it grows well for me!

    Thank you!!

    I hope it goes well. This is the first contest we are having, we have 35 people in the growing contest. I hope it goes well and we have more. I will be happy just if the piece grows and looks nice!

    One of the mods donated his chalice and everyone got an aprox 1"x1" piece and there were still some leftover. It was a huge piece he had been growing out for 3 years! :eek:

    After this picture, I glued it to a rock that sort of "flowed" with the way the frag was swooping. I'll post an "In-tank" picture later.

    That is an awesome pic Matt.

    Mine does not look that good.

    I figure now I have a piece/frag of Red Chalice though.

    It's not the size of the frag Todd, it's how you grow it! I bet in 3 months, I'll be drooling over yours and not happy with mine...
