I am really pleased with how they are growing. I believe they will start to grow outward now. I would say we are not doing bad for just about 1 1/2 months in with what I believe could be as many as 5 new eyes growing.

I know it has not been long but a small little update. I was feeding today and noticed that the Dynamite, flash bomb, atom bomb and merlin are starting to do some outward growth. I no longer can see the epoxy edge between the frag and epoxy. I believe the cosmic wonderland is going to be our slow grower for the growout. it only eats about every other time I feed the other chalices. So basically out of 4 feedings it eats 2 of them.

I just wanted to keep you guys up to date on what is going on with the chalices.

Try another food believe it or not I have started to feed 3 different foods because certain chalices like one food more then the other which makes sense. Especially baby eyes they tend to do best with one specific food I use.

Update: Had just finished feeding the corals. I think we are starting to get some outward growth. you can see the chalice rim starting to be over the edge of the putty (can not see the edge of the putty)

Everything is eating and doing good. We have a new eye on the Flash bomb and rack city one. I was planning on posting new pics on the weekend in the 20s. So it would be 6/23 if that is ok with every one. That would be a once a month picture update.
