Got my 1st Chalice...now what do I do?

[Hiker4twenty]

Got this chalice for $7.50 at the LFS this weekend. Not the best looking thing, but for my first one it's not bad. Care tips please?

I've got the exact same one in my tank. At least, it looks just like yours. It's a really slow grower. Moderate light and flow. Mine puts out feeding tentacles from its eyes at night sometimes, so I feed it when it does that. It's rare, but it happens.

It's got little green eyes. I counted 5 for sure, but maybe a 6th. I've got it in the right place so hopefully it does well.

You may want to give it a little more space my Chalice attacked my war coral that was about 1.5 in away.

It looks great.

Not sure what the problem is. The pics were working before and I just saw them again now. Maybe try again?

You may just want to give it more room (like right into that nice empty 50 you have...lol). The cap is a pretty mellow coral and would probably lose the war if they got too close.

Did you get the from Northampton?

Thanks Larry. Yes, I got it from fishy. They had a coral sale where it was buy 1 and get 1 at 1/2 price. I got this from the frag tank for $7.50.
