The arguement that chalices are too plain/boring or too expensive could be argued for any coral. Zoos, SPS alike... All have common plain brown specimens but can also be found with amazing and vibrant color morphs.

The point I'm trying to make is that this isn't a boring coral. In fact it is often overlooked. These corals are out there, but it's a matter of being the person who acknowledges their value and takes them home.
