Yes your Alien Eye looks beautiful. I wish mine had your pop. Mine has grown but I think it looked better before it did lol.
First pick is in June when I got it. Second pic is from today
I have been contemplating fragging it.

Keith,..I found a picture of my "Martian" when I first put it in my tank and like yours, mine has about twice as many dots , " polyps" as it did before,...I just never really realized it until I started counting them this morning,...Interesting ,..must be growing ok (?) .
Bottom of my mix barrel after about a hundred pounds of Reef Crystals. You can see my confusion. If anyone figures this out please post it.
It seems alien eye caps are kind of scarce right now.
My barrel was after an entire bucket was used.Today was my first day of using the reef crystals,..it had been previously mixed together with my RODI water and had been in its mixing barrel for the last 5 days or so,...and yes I had a brownish residue in my barrel,...no where near what mr.x showed but since I had white deposits left from using my coral pro salt the brown was very easy to see on top of that.
Since starting up in saltwater, price on chalices have been high. In terms of the alien eye ones you guys are showing, I've never seen one or I'd have snatched it up quickly. My only fear is that it wouldn't like the amount of light in my tank.

From what I've read and seen they do not require the intense lighting as your sps do,...remember they are an LPS so if you're doing fine with hammers,torches etc than you'll prob do ok with one of these,....I was scared to death to try one at first because they just look like trouble and being so pricey ( $175 + -) I was very hesitant about pushing the button,..but they just looked so cool I had to take the chance
I figured that was the case.... I'll see what mine looks like in a month
I would be the odd man out. Should just get use to it...
Now I wish I had brown trash in my mixing barrel. Feel left out. :-(
I think he's talking about bleaching.em from to much light. If I remember correctly he's had a few colonies of sps lost to excessive light lol.
