New Class Clown Chalice piece

[linarenee1]

I’ve been wanting a show piece chalice for a minute. Had originally purchased a 4” rainbow goku chalice colony. The day it was supposed to ship, the seller contacts me and says his tank had crashed. Totally heartbroken. It was beautiful. A few days ago I find Pacific East Aquaculture and they had a WYSIWYG ~3” Class Clown Chalice. Well it’s here and I could not be more obsessed! Easily my new favorite and larger by about an inch. Just need to figure out a strategic place to put it. Anyone with any advice as to optimal placement and what coral to keep this guy away from?

is this new in the tank? if so it may be adjusting but I would keep an eye on it atm its showing skeleton all along its body the most visible on the right side you can see it. if it doesn't get better or gets worse move it to the sand bed tilted at a 90degree angle propped against the rock if you can to let it adjust.

love the class clown chalice do a royal blue only ramp down at the end of the night to get a full viewing pleasure of all its colors!

I had this coral before from Dr Mac. I loved it. Fast grower. Was at least 5 inches across. I had something go thru my tank and took my acans and 2 grown out chalices, this being one. I have a RSM S500 and place mine midway up the tank and find a nice ledge to attach them to. They have room to grow out into space without being irritated. Check your tank after lights out when corals have their feeding tentacles out. You may be surprised how long some have, even small corals. Enjoy, its a beautiful specimen!
