New chalice

[smittyz33]

I just noticed what looks like chalice growing in my sump. How do I safely remove it from the glass so I can put it into my main tank?

[hobogato]

a single sided razor blade should work to remove it from the glass with minimal damage

Will try, thanks ace!

Pretty cool to find a free chalice. Any clue as to what kind it is? PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[smittyz33]

Well, I just got it out of the sump and into the tank. It's definitely chalice (single head), and it's red! yaay!!

Does it look like any of these?

I believe if you just wait he will post pictures. :|

[Reefer4ever]

I have no patience and that is a bad thing in this hobby... :(

[smittyz33]

funny Dylan! Not sure about an ID from your pics. It hasn't attached and is still retracted from being scraped off the bottom of my sump. I can tell you the red was deeper and when I saw him in the sump there was also a little pink and orange.

I will post a pic ASAP
