It is a fairly slow grower...I keep it in low light to keep the yellow colour.

To be honest it just gets really pale...I am sure it would of eventually melted away, but I never left it in high light long enough to find out.

If that's the same stuff I have...it took about a month to move it up.  I have it near the top of the tank now, grey in daylight, bright yellow under RB's and florescent under UVs. Of course it may be a slightly different piece.

 

[BIGSHOW]

Thats the exact same piece, all from the same colony.

I think most chalices "adjust" to more light if you go slow.

That's the reason why I was interested in your opinion about that piece.

I'm still housing Copperkills Yellow Cracklin chalice and the colour doesn't look the same as it does in the pics. It does look good under the RB LEDs though. I have it at the bottom and it wasnt colouring up, so I moved it to the side to indirect lighting and its the same. My thinking is the same, it just takes time t adjust to lighting in different tanks. I didnt want to move it high, as I thought high light and chalice generally don't go well together.

The pic (as usual) doesn't do it justice, it' a bright yellow (look at how blue everything is around it).  Seemed to take to better light quite well.  I can't even feed it because it's on a side.

Some of my chalice took a long time to do anything as well, slow to acclimatize.  I got that pale pink/white receding Chalice from Darryl in October and it refused to color up no matter what lighting I tried.  It grew back fairly quickly but even the new growth was just a pale purple.  Now after five months it is finally darkening up with some deeper oranges and blues mixing with the pink but still has a way to go to look fully pigmented.

Do you find the paler colored chalices are slower to adjust than the darker ones?  Any tips?

Thanks.  That Ranbow Chalice has 15+ eyes, it could be easily fragged a few more times, if people want to split it up.

I like chalice pack 5. Your a little bit to far away for me tho.

Frag swap???

 

[BIGSHOW]

Frag swap???

I have colonies of all these frags, so if the packs don't sell prior to the swap..its yours.  If it does, I will cut you a new one, well in advance of the frag meet.

Cheers,
