$325

My original piece came from Mike at "Thecaptivereef.com". He is a reputable collector / etailer. My mother colony is pictured below.

FYI, the pics do not do it justice (cliche to say so?) But the green rim is electric in color. Very nice coral.

sorry to thread jack but how long did it take it too grow from 2 eyes to what it is now? I have 2 eyes of the same chalice.

Once they get this size is when the growth starts to increase though bc a little growth around the diameter of a wider piece makes more eyes if that makes sense

sorry mods but i must comment! NICE PRICE!

I've got one with 4 eyes now, it started out as 1 eye and i paid $135 and it's been 7 months. It's better to get them like the size above, it will grow faster than starting out with 1 or 2 eyes.

Someone buy it!
