chalice color question
One of the rocks I bought had a chalice that was almost dead (at the time i thought it WAS dead). The skeleton looked red and green. When a chalice looses its flesh, will the skeleton retain the color up until it dies and bleaches white? One guy told me he thought it was coralline but yet i could not scrape anything when I tried upon first buying the rock.
Just trying to figure out what colors my chalice might be when the flesh fully returns. |

Youll know what color it is if it survives. Otherwise it will be a white skeleton

It also could wither away to nothingness.

I've counted 16 mouths on it now and 13 of them will take shrimp which is up from last week when i first realized that it would eat meat.
So the red and green on the skeleton is in now way indicative to what color it will eventually be huh? Well, it's kind of like seeing the present under the tree in wrapping paper... just have to make guesses and wait and see. |
