Since I've admittedly gone off the deep end with these bad boys, I was wondering what everyones favorite chalice is right now? There have been so many beautiful ones released lately its hard to decide but my top 3 are, in no particular order:

Ktar's Orenji- Love the orange and blue combo! They seem to be brighter than the blue gecko or other similar colored chalices
Sexy Coral's Dynamite- This one speaks for itself, so does their price tag. lol
Rocky Mountain Frag's Hypnosis- Has both convict and rising sun color patterns!

If you asked me a couple months back it would have been:
BPC Flamethrower
JF My Miami
JF Tangerine Dreams

Lol he could probably save on shipping if he would have known we were fellow reefers. When you get your tank up youll have to contact me and maybe we can trade a few to save a few bucks. Im setting up a chalice only tank in my fishroom to dedicate to grow outs.

Do you like the frag farmers watermelon more than ultimatefrag's watermelon?

RO Rising Sun

Yeah I really liked that rising sun until I saw the Hypnosis. Im still debating picking up the Rising sun. These two are really what made me want to try striped chalices. Time will tell...

LOL. I pm'ed Kevin last night asking what all the code letters meant so I could go look for pics too. He sent me a link to reef2reef where you can find a lot of Ktar's stuff. FnF is Fish and frags. SC is Sexy Corals. JF is Just Frags I believe. Still trying to figure out RO ad BPC though.
Just be warned that the ones listed are amazing and expensive.

I only have access to my phone so maybe someone else could post some pics. Jf is Jason fox, bpc is blue planet corals and ro is reef odyssey. Hope that helps.

Under what lighting and flow have your chalices done there best? What about placement?

Chalices are just like SPS and each one reacts differently. A lot of chalice collectors I know will actually keep 2+ frags of each chalice and have them placed in various parts of the tank to see where they produce the best coloration.

I agree with the above. With that said, I have all of mine on the sand bed with medium flow hitting them. My tank is 2' deep with an inch of sand under 2 AI Sols.
I have My Miami, Miami Hurricane, HollyWood Stunner, Brian's Baby(Watermelon), Cornbread's Mummy Eye, and I believe it is called Gold in the Bunker from MCC. Out of those the Brian's baby had to be shaded because it started losing it's color.

That SC Dynamite looks BADAZZ! If I bought a chalice, it would probably be that one.

I hve never own ultimate frags watermelon .... Both totally looks different ...fragfarmers is more lightish pink I guess they call it baby pink... My colony only time was more than 80 eyes and fragged it several time ... I still think it has more than 50 eyes...
Ultimatefrag watermelon is more like tyress watermelon.. Dark pink but lot more nicer than tyrees....

And for grow out I might be a part in future ... Lmk when u get something nice....

I've never seen the hypnosis before. It looks like a cross between the rising sun and convict.
