Lets try to keep this simple maybe like up to 5 chalices and up to 5 acros...... See how things go and go from there.... i dont want to spend a fortune but dont want it to be a waste of time either for couple rinky dinky pieces :). If you guys have some things in mind please share so we can get some ideas going.

I want some acros like the rainbow granulosa, tierra de fuego, ..........

I want some chalices with some SICK colors! :).

I really dont want colonies unless they got fragged up and sent out before they hit my tank.... usually colonies are more likely to carry pest...if we get frags i will cut them at the base and remount them to be certain there are no critters!
Agreed color is more important as well . Ill make a little list up of things that I think are super nice and colorful. Grow out on the lps are easy and usually quicker the sps I'm not sure of unless we can do a group buy on small colonies and frag out.

Peeked in tank this morning and saw some MAD pe on pink watermelon so i popped lights on real quick and snapped a pic....it was hard to catch a pic with polyps stretched out full length.... looking through tank they were probably a good inch long or better! I have never seen a chalice with that kind of pe.... if it was close enough to another coral it could possibly sting it.... usually i see 1/2 inch polyps on chalices

Also snapped a pic of clowns in their cave :). The female stays in the cave the male has to sleep outside! :) what the heck.....

Great looking set up... Just catching up on everything here. Im not into the sticks, but, would still join the group, not an issue. I know Rich has some great pieces. Have several of his in my tank (check my porfil, under pics) I can Talk with him about some stuff he may have hidden for us. Im supposed to go see his new place next month. We all know of him right? Sells on Ebay, for "cornbread"

Don't go by the site, Joey has alot of nice gems that would be awesome in a grow out. Contact him for stuff you are interested in, his site hasn't been updated since it went down from the live sale. I picked up some nice acros from him this past weekend at a frag swap and he had some awesome chalices with him as well.
