Sexycorals "My Miami chalice" growout..

[Speg]

Awesome! Like the technique...no tweezers? :wink:

Nah!

The little mouth on the end of the coral almost accepted food. The mouth is sticking up and out above the base...the food hung on for a while but ended up floating away...I'll try again tomorrow on that mouth....

The other mouth took the food no problem and gobbled it down faster than any chalice I've ever seen.

I've never fed a chalice. I need to start trying that. Glad to hear our guy is eating.

Speg when we are done with this growout we HAVE to get this one next....

Is this the crazy fox? Witch web sight did this come from?

 

[NanoNano]

Yeah. Not sure where that one is from. I pulled it from another thread here on R2R. I want that thing.

 

[nissan97240]

That is WWC.

Speg you buy a camera yet? I just bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC -FH20 for less than we paid for this freaking one eye of chalice on Amazon. I should have had them ship it to you.

 

[Speg]

lol wow. My camera isn't good enough for you? Do you want me to take a bunch of pics of it or grow the thing?? Haven't you heard of "a watched pot never boils" ?

 

[NanoNano]

haha, I was just messin with you.

 

[Speg]

I know. We actually have REALLY good cameras. We just never get batteries for the stupid things.

This is the picture that sexycorals sent me of it. The polyps are a little damaged from recently being fragged, but with some tlc they should grow quite nicely. Here's the pic:

So I guess a live feed from ustream.tv is out of the question.... :}

Quick update...not sure if you guys like being updated this much..I can slow it down if you'd like.

It's eating still. The smaller eye still doesn't eat well though. The eye protrudes out of the coral...not really sure what's up with it..and it was like that when I got it, so don't get any ideas like I'm at fault

Everything's still doing great.

You can update as frequently as you want .

Awesome, Update every day if you feel like it. If you don't, don't sweat it. Sounding great so far.

 

[Speg]

Still haven't had much luck feeding the protruding eye. The flat, larger eye eats really well, however.

I'm going to try one more trick tonight to feed the protruding eye....we'll see how it goes.

How often are you supposed to feed chalices?

 

[Speg]

How often are you supposed to feed chalices?

As often as you want. Just don't feed too many times a day or too large of food. I've never had a chalice die from overfeeding, but I had a paly that I killed once because I overfed.
