i hear ya, i take all my pics with my droid(first gen) they come out nice but do no justice for anything.. the vivid colors dont show thru the water and lights..is this in your big tank? how far do you have to move it? and they are so delicate id be afraid of breaking it if i looked at it too hard

The chalice have stinging sweeper tentacles that can sting any corals in there reach. There sweeper tentacle can extend in length of up to one foot.

 

[Brando457]

DAMN^ I never knew that! i always thought of them as small little flat pieces of coral haha

So can a chalice be next to a chalice or needs lots of space from other ones?

 

[ocholoco]
