Original Mummy Eye Chalice

Moved this to a spot on the sand bed with more flow and higher par than previously and I'm getting some serious eye explosion. I'm up to 12 eyes with 2 of them that look like they're splitting. Though I'm getting more eyes, the chalice doesn't seem to be expanding in size much.

Impressive growth. What is the par reading?

It's in the middle of my two Radion XR15w lights, so it gets a little bit from both. I measured the PAR to be around 160-180; it fluctuates because of the surface agitation.

Getting lazy and just used my iPhone for pictures, but thought I'd post an update. It's on a raised rock so it had to grow underneath itself a little to finally get to the rock to be able to encrust so growth has been a little slow, but it's still looking good.

Had some tank funk and growth slowed a bit, but tank is back on track. Chalice has completely encrusted the rock I put it on and should be starting to move out onto sandbed soon. Hopefully, it'll grow fast from there and I can hand out some frags.
