thanks guys! yeah the chalice really is as ridiculous as it looks, no photoshop of any kind. some days it shows more of the bubble gum pink than others it seems. compare it to when I got it January 2008

the duncan is designed to be sort of my centrepiece. compare it to the single polyp I got back in March 2007

Hahaha nice. I hadn't noticed before, but now whenever I look into the tank I always see a parrot staring back at me :mrgreen: silly rabbit, birds don't belong in tanks. Maybe as it grows, Ill have to frag it so that the parrot stays...
