Heya all,

I went to the Livestock (http://www.cvreefers.org/forumdisplay.php?f=6) forum, picked the forum that had the oldest post, and decided to post here.
:D

I noticed the other day that my 'Pumpkin Patch Echino' had a nifty yellow-green eye. So, I took a shot of it!

It usually exhibits that orange/pink eye w/ an ever so slightly green rim. Perhaps a new mouth forming? Perhaps a closed mouth?

Enjoy the shot!

Dude that is awesome! I recently caught the echino bug. Im picking up a golden eye and miami hurricane this weekend.

Nice...

Did you know that the Miami Hurricane and the Pumpkin Patch are the same thing?

Kinda funny, you can read about it here:

LOL! You know i have read that before too! Im a tard.

Do you keep yours in low light?

Yup yup, pretty low light. Fairly low flow too.

Ooo eye candy. How long did it take for the chalice to encrust like that?

You know, that's a good question. See that middle notch where it is kinda white? A frag was cut there about 1/4" wide or so. It has been about 5-6 weeks since that cut and it is now almost healed over 100%.

So I would guess the same time frame for the frag-plug encrustation or so.

Do echinophilas encrust? I didn't think they did. Either way, very nice piece.

Got me there. Perhaps 'encrust' is the wrong word?

nice pic
:D

Jeremy, did you get a piece of the Blue Chalice from Tyree?

This guy?

Nope, don't have that one.

Ya, that is the one I was talking about. Bummer.

The closest thing in my collection to that is this guy. (Note: I did not take the photos)

The first shot is more true-to-form IMHO. But not quite there... I'll try and take a photo of it next time I have the camera out. It's kind of an aquamarine color with green eyes:
