Great stuff!! This one is interesting, I think based on the structure and marginal growth it looks more like a red monti cap with yellow polyps... Really cool I've never seen that color combo before on a monti cap!!

I can see how one would think that from the picture . But I'm pretty sure it's the same chalice from the brs grow out contest last year. I think that piece is just so big the eyes look tiny.

There is a monti that looks very similar called the starburst monti. Not saying it isn't a chalice though. How fast does it grow is the question. I've never met a monti cap that doesn't grow like a weed.

looks like the red chalice from grow out last year wish mine was that big

I believe it's a chalice from the radial growth from the center. I've never seen a monti with this radial pattern.

 

[dz6t]

It is clearly a monti cap

Could be. But I think the owner, Mike Accardi, knows the difference between a chalice and a monti.

 

[Archit]

pretty positive it's a chalice. Look at the edges; monties have smooth edges in general, this one has the spiky skeletal structure of a chalice. At first I thought it was a monti too

The mystery coral should bring some big bucks

Here are the pics of the exact frags I'll be donating.

Archit's Forest Gold Cyphastrea:

To be named, ultra favites. It keeps coloring up better and better every day!

Both frags were fragged on 3/1/16 and pics were taken on 3/2/16.

Thanks!

Ok, after examine the photo closely, I can see the bump on each mouth. It is a chalice.

Any Equipment so far?

 

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

I'm taking down my main tank, and if all goes well, I plan to donate the following for the auction:
I do not have pictures ready yet.

1. yellow tang (very healthy; 4-5 inches nose to tail)
2. 3 azure damselfish
3. 2 large bubble corals (Plerogyra sinuosa) each is about 12" x 6" when looking down on it (very roughly)
4. Very large brown leather (18" tall, about 8" across)
5. About a dozen red mushrooms
6. Maybe 50 green mushrooms
7. 30-50 small xenia stalks
8. Nepthea (green tree coral) about 6" (brown in my tank, but was green when I got it from Greg Hiller)
9. galaxea, green ~8"
10 Tons of green star polyps
11. T. crocea 6" blue and purple, needs scraping of growth off its sides (valonia, green star polyps, caulerpa)
12. Some hermits and starfish, but I can't be sure what I'll actually be able to pull out
13. Large amount of live rock (2 x 3/4 full 44 gallon brute cans plus what is in my 120 display). Loaded with nice sponges and some coralline (rock on top), but the rock in the display has a very large number of tiny tube worms (maybe vermitids?)and may also have caulerpa and valonia on it, so some may need scraping rock deeper down won't have algae on it. I won't be bringing the rock, it would have to be picked up in Arlington

Haven't seen any yet. But I'm sure next week will be a busy one.
