new arrivals yesterday and today include WWC yellow submarine, Snakeskin chalice and Elite Reefs Doppel Ganger. All look healthy and beautiful and hopefully my kodak batteries come in later today or tomorrow and I can add some pics.

I couldn't get a good picture of the doppel ganger so that will have to wait until the photo update in a few days. I was able to get the yellow submarine and snakeskin chalices. Snakeskin was a little more difficult to capture.

Thanks guys! I didn't even realize it had gotten that big. I thought it was just 25-30 pieces. We only have a couple of more pieces to go and that's it, I promise

Tangerine Dreams and Strawberry watermelon just arrived a few minutes ago and are growout new additions (pending all payments). A little stressed from shipping but otherwise healthy. Can't get a good picture of the strawberry watermelon, and it is pretty small but it is a very bright piece as you can see. Give them both a week or so to adjust and their true beauty will shine through :bigsmile:

Picture update is complete:wink: Took forever to take pics and they are uploading now. This takes way too long This is when I wish the growout were only 5-10 pieces. I believe I got about 90 percent of the growout. Each of you has a couple of pieces in your tanks but the bulk are here. Some pics are decent, while others totally suck but that's because those chalices are towards the back or too low in the tank. Either way I tried my best. I hope you enjoy this update because there won't be another picture update for another month. It's like having another job :cry: Very difficult to do while taking care of my son and is extremely time consuming. Next week Bay corals is delivering the Planet earth chalice so that's something to look forward to. At least we now caught the Tangerine dreams. Nice catch Jai.

Photo update, in no particular order. please don't post until I finish, it will take me a while to upload everything. And please don't mind the bad pics, my camera sucks pretty bad. I included my BPC FT and while not officially part of the growout, you guys are getting it so I figured you'd want to see the progress.
Arc Wanted 1-2 eyes, slow growth. Gets more colorful in the shade.
WWC Fanta Eats well and is beginning to color up. was a little stressed from shipping.
WWC Space Ghost beautiful piece, great colors, doesn't eat much.
WWC Purple Pillow wm slow groth, doesn't eat
WWC Stardust doesn't eat, getting used to my tank.
WWC Sub Zero wm eats and grows well. another beauty, several eyes.
Reef Fanatics Flamethrower still coloring up and growing steadily
Golden Banshee finally showing signs of healing but the left side is a little white so it's going in the shade.
Goldrush colored up, eating nicely and growth is steady
Tiger lily look alike (we might have to come up with a name for this one, I don't believe it's a tiger lily).
Has 2 grown eyes and I believe another two coming in. slow growth.
Sexy Corals Rainbow Party growth slowed down a little and I have it in lower light so I need to move back up so it can regain them.
Reefkoi Viron Flame coloring up very nicely. one of my faves. eats well, getting comfortable.
Reefkoi Viron Flame same as above
Tyree Doomsday little guy is still one eye. eats well and colored up nicely.

Strawberry Orange Sherbert one of our best growers, eats well, colored up beautifully. This piece is a prime example of how chalices can morph so much under different amounts of par. When it arrived it was almost entirely green, I moved it up and gave it more light. Within a couple of weeks it turned pink. Incredible but this growout is teaching me a lot about these beautiful pieces.
Tyree Matrix another amazing piece. eats well, growing 1 or 2 new eyes and looks fantastic now. Colored up great. I thought this piece was agoner when it arrived but after a few weeks, I'm very happy with our purchase.
My Miami fast grower, great eater and beautiful piece.
BPC Flamethrower One of my faves, even though it hasn't developed the blue/white streaks :cry: . I believe it's getting too much light but it's growing and eating well so it's stay put.
TEC Watermelon Great growth, vivid colors, eats like a pig. 4th eye almost completely grown in. Nice addition Jai!
Bahama Mama Eats well, grew another eye and the rim is growing out well. Colors are starting to come in nicely on this mini-colony.
Rainbow Magic great eater, fat and happy. Sweet colors and is growing 2 new eyes but be warned, the eyes look like they take a long time to fully develop. Very nice addition to the growout.
J Cigar Orange SHerbert Doesn't eat much, steady growth, and grew 1-2 new eyes.
couple of group shots, include the favias, crazy swirl wm and anything I missed.

One of the most difficult parts of this growout is finding the right spot for each piece. Keeping the colors of these individual pieces or getting the new ones to color up is tricky. each one has it's own needs but unfortunately don't come with instructions. SOme are light lovers, others prefer none at all and depending on their spot, will or will not color up for you. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the pic update and the next one will be in mid august. regular updates will be frequent of course and as always my home is open to any of you or you can reach me by phone or text. have a good weekend, Frank.
