Here's my Feb Pic. Mine's looking so bad I considered just dropping out, but who knows... maybe it'll bounce back.

Hi pixelpixi, have you tried placing it in a different spots with different light and flow conditions? Mine is in medium flow with pretty high light, but looking at yours, I'd tend to move it to lower light in hopes that it will reach for the light and stop hugging its skeleton. Best of luck, hope it improves and you don't lose it.

Has anyone seen their chalice's tenticals? I've never seen mine. I don't know if I've just never caught it at the right time or if it's just not extended them.

Yup. If you see my 2nd pix you can see them peeking out.

I spritz a little coral frenzy solution on it, tentacles come out a little while after.

March, he doesn't look as puffy as he's been in the past. I just moved him and have been fighting back some algae growth around him.

Watch that algae growth. It can and does kill corals by smothering them and preventing them from photosynthesizing.

Try an urchin, I picked up a tuxedo pin cushion at Aquatic Collection after the swap for my display. I have a purple spiny urchin in my frag tank which is where my Tangerine Dream is growing out. Have to say they eat algae a lot quicker than snails or blennys.

Well I will admit when i saw the interest in chalice as a grow out contest, i thought it was gonna be like watching snails watching paint dry, but some of you guys are getting good polyp development!
