Tyree Pink WaterMelon Chalice


another favorite by avid chalice collectors... this chalice has been in the hobby for a few years and it has hold its reputation as one of the best morphs of WaterMelon... I've heard that this morph grows pretty slow so I'm hoping within a year, I'll have a 1.5" - 2" around piece... I actually owned a frag about 3-4 years ago... I received a one eye, really tiny piece... it grew, then receded, then grew, then receded.. so pretty much I didn't have anything to show for after about 2 years... I finally gave it up when I moved to our house in Nov 2007... anyway, wish me luck with this frag... the frag I have above has 2 eyes...

Rainbow Eye Chalice


one of my favorite chalice... not only it has black & red combo but look at the Rainbows eyes... on the Red side, the mouths are more yellow/orange and on the black side, they are more on the green side... I will have an updated shot of the colony once it grows a little more, maybe I'll try a top down shot... it's the biggest chalice I have right now.... stay tuned!!!

Pink Boobies


Pink Boobies chalice is one of the most sought after chalice right now... when I first received my frag of PB, I couldn't believe how bright it was... it's my favorite pink/red chalice by far... another striking feature of the PB are the almost Rainbow eyes or mouths... let me just say that I'm very fortunate to have gotten a frag of this chalice... hope I can get it to grow into a nice colony...

New Snowcasso's


it's been just over a month since I purchased (delivery date: 03-17-09) my 1st pair of Snowcasso's (Picasso Clownfish w/ lots more white in them)... I'm very sorry to report that my first Snowcasso on my other post didn't make it... hung in there for almost 2 months but finally gave in since he stopped eating after 1 month... I'm not really sure the cause of not eating... anyway, I'm very excited about this new pair... I hopefully will be able to keep them until they mature... it will take about a year to 2 years to get the full coloration of these guys... stay tuned, I will post pictures of them every so often to track progress...
