anyone have the watermelon chalice?

[Anonymous]

I don't have much space in my tank, but I would like to add this cool coral to it. Here's a pic of the original colony :

Peace,

I want one too and will pay $5 more than Chip.

Here's one offered for trade on frags.org:

Here is one hell of a clone offered by someone at RC. This is the best looking clone I have seen so far. It's very tempting.

Hrm...I think I'll pay my rent first, for once. Then I'll get brave and pony up for it. Now that I'm engaged, reefing is a whole new ballgame.

Peace,

I'll keep an eye out for ya, Chip. There's a swap coming up and Chalice's are pretty common in the Bay Area.

Karl, me wants an OG Watermelon chalice too. I'm not a big acan or chalice nut, but that watermelon is nuts.

I guy on RC says he has a friend that has a 1/2" Tyree Watermelon Alien Eye for $200.00.

I requested a picture and ask how do I know it's really from the Tyree lineage.

With the right answers and pictures, I may be on to one!

You guys don't want a clone, right? I've got a lock on an actual Tyree piece, but it'll cost you. The last piece auctioned on ebay for $550.

I have no place to put it right now, so give me a couple of weeks.

Clone or original, it really doesn't matter. Eventually I'll have an original, but I'm just looking for cheaper right now. Whatever you can get, Karl, is fine by me...I appreciate you finding whatever you can find. Psychadelic, rainbow, watermelon, whatever...

Peace,

Chip

I want one bad, but not $550 bad. How much does your lead want?

I am surprised that you didn't go after the clone that I linked above from the guy at RC. That one looks great and was $150.

That's the coolest LPS, IMO.I have a "clone" that is probably similar to the one sold by Atlantis. It's nice, but nothing like the pics I've seen of the real thing. I did notice just today though, that it is develuping brighter pink coloring, so who knows.

I'm being offered a 1" frag off this mother colony for $170.00.

Do you guys think this looks like the real deal or is it a clone?

The guys says the picture does it no justice.

He grew this mother colony in 1.5 years from a small frag.

It's from the LA area. He got it from a guy who got it from a guy....

He says he has traded a single frag of this for a frag of a superman monti, rainbow monti a purple monster. So it must be awesome looking in person, yes?

Looks like the picture was taken with a flash, so that would wash out the colors a bit. See if you can get a pic without flash...looks like it'd be a great looking coral "in person."

Peace,

Chip

 

[Anonymous]

I agree with you on the flash. He probably doesn't have a good camera.

I think I may just go for it.

He's asking $170.00 and claiming it to be the real deal. I have seen people asking $150 for pieces that were admittedly clones.

If you got the dough go for it. Then sell me a frag next year!

I got the dough.

DanConner is the first on my wait-list (soon to be booked through 2011)

Take a pic when you get it. I can get the real deal, but it's gonna cost me a fortune (not quite $550, but very expensive nonetheless).

That copy on RC looks awesome. I'm thinking about getting that one too, even if I get the real deal.

Now what nut would trade all those corals for a frag of the watermelon clone? :lol:
