What makes a "Rainbow" chalice, all I know is that they are expensive and I'm already addicted?

I just noticed nobody really answered this for you Levi. Maybe you know by know but here are how chaices get rare and expensive.....here is a list of things that make a chalice rare and desirable to the collector.

-a nice and bright base colour (duh)
-contrasting eyes (green wont cut it here, must be yellow,orange,pink,red etc.)
-a green rim or contrasting coloured rim
-splashes of other colours in the body

any combination of these traits are good and finally we come to the explanation of what a proper rainbow chalice is.... basically it has a multicoloured base with contrasting eyes and contrasting rim.

Hows your frag doing? Im sure you saw a picture of my mother colony. I have had that one for over a year if you were curious. Chalices love to be feed as a tip...it will grow much faster if you can get it to eat.

Thanks for the info Darryl, the frag is doing very well. Here's a few photos of the little guy.


I was afraid portions were possibly bleaching but I'm pretty sure that's just the eye forming process now? The area lightened and then a little green spot formed, got larger and then a mouth popped up! Second new eye since I've gotten it, slow grower but hands down my favorite!

PUNNIISHHHERRRRR!!! CONTROLL!!! (aka photo dump)

New split eye is forming on this bad boy!! Is REALLLYYY slow to grow but holy crap do I love it.
