Ive had it for about 6 months now and its grown about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. Even though it grows painfully slow the color makes up for it. IMO there is not another coral on earth of any shade that can rival it. Ill get a pic up tomorrow!

Holy is that a chalice (green with pink centre) with that growth pattern? Any progression shots? How on earth did it grow in that shape?

I have photos when it was small but don't know how to get them from computer to my photo bucket. This coral started on a flat plug and grew around the plug instead of flat. So I glued a plug with the nipple on the bottom of that plug and it just grew around the nipple and onto the next plug making it look like a Nuclear explosion. This coral is 6yrs old started from one eye BGM Now you know the secret don't tell anyone.

LoJack · 01/18/2014, 02:10 PM

haha thanks for the info. It looks incredible!!

tripdad · 01/18/2014, 02:24 PM

Nuclear explosion chalice....$1500.00 per eye! I smell an LE windfall...LOL

Hey Chris, My Miami had a bubble like yours and its now dropping babies from that spot. Tank looks good.

greg1786 · 01/23/2014, 12:34 AM

Awesome pics everyone. That chalice is really cool I love the growth structure! Ive always been an acro guy but recently picked up my first chalica about a month ago. Its almost grown to cover the plug completely. If you dont mind I think im going to steal your idea of stacking plugs!!

To get back on topic I managed to get a few shots of my oregon tort tonight. Im going to have to get out the digital camera because this iphone pic is pathetic!! I will still share none the less. To the OP, there are quite a bit of blue acros out there but if your looking to replace your OT you should go for another OT!! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1390458864.399861.jpg

Got a pic of the oregon tort with the digital...ImageUploadedByTapatalk1390545971.867162.jpg. I dont know if anyone has a pic to share but at a recent swap in my area jason fox had a blue coral called papa smurf. Its worth a look before you buy your next blue acro!!

ryanrid · 01/28/2014, 04:33 AM

heres some of my blue's

LoJack · 01/28/2014, 12:39 PM

Not a lot of blue in my tank ...

Only one blue frag on the rack, but I can't get a good photo of the mother colony … it just washes out due to lighting. The frag is an accurate representation of its color though. Any ideas what it is?

Nice corals and nice photography..
What type of lighting do you use?
Thanks

jackson6745 · 01/28/2014, 03:33 PM

Thanks Matt. Pics are taken with an iPhone5 through a look down box. Photos were cropped and edited for sharpness. No color edit. Lighting is a 400w radium + t5's. The first one is something that I have not seen in the hobby….yet. It was an australian piece that looked like a regular blue tennis. This just colored up with red polyps recently. If anyone has the first one please LMK. I would love to compare notes

Are you using the native photo app or another one?
That first coral is really fantastic.
