KMiller Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Picked up this Chalice today at a LFS, and the LFS owner had no idea what it was (scratch). So I paid $25 for it (clap) Any idea what it is? It's a really bright orangish pink color. I apologize for the phone pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefnjunkie Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 wow no one? I thought a bunch of members here go nuts over these things lol My guess is of the Echinophyllia genus, does not look like a Mycedium- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Lol I don't think that's what she was looking for. I would agree echinophyllia. I don't know that it ius a specific named chalice Katrina. Just like zoanthids there are many that are not named. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 there are hundreds if not thousands of different color morphed chalice in the oceans and only select handfuls get those catchy names that drive them up to over 10-50x what the store paid for them. Feel free to name it whatever you like, you can add LE (limited edition) behind it since it is a 1 of a kind and if you market it right (laugh) The point is there are hundreds with no names to every 1 with that catchy marketing buzz name. Some of those wild no namers grow out to be brilliant pieces and you can get lucky. Emerald is the resident chalice nut or maybe just the resident............never mind Nice chalice Katrina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Ya, i dont think that one has any 'fancy name' looks like it will probably turn a nice red or pink, just depending on your tank conditions and lighting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
