      Jasper's Chalice

      For the OG's that's been around for a while you'll know this coral and it's story. 15 years ago I saw this chalice in person when I first joined the hobby from a well known kind hearted reefer we all know as Jasper. The community was super tight back then and i learned alot from fellow reefers in those years. I haven't seen this piece anywhere since. Although he's no longer with us, tonight I was able to acquire this special piece direct from friend who had it since his passing 9 years ago. Thanks alot FreshSaltH20! Super Stoked to have it, not for the coloration but for the sentimental value it brings! RIP Jasper, I'll take good care of it!

      Cool! Neat story.

      I had the pleasure of meeting Jasper several times, and got to see his amazing aquarium a time or two.

      That's awesome. Also a beautiful piece glad you found it and were able to bring it home as a sentiment to see daily.

      I still have the pic of him we posted at RAP trying to help sell his corals to get money to his family, I keep it by my test kits to remind me to check the "Big MAC" his term for mag,alk, cal.
      Nice memory jogger there, great score.
      Jasper was a real cool dude, and loved that tank of his.
