I can kind of see skeleton but it looks really weird. I'll take a pic right now.

If it has flesh at all, do not chuck it, there's not enough nutrients to worry about hurting the rest of the tank.
are there any hermits, shrimp or snails picking at it?

sorry to hear about the chalice man, i sure hope it comes back for ya.. i remember other day in chat how excited u were to get it

Thanks for every ones support, I think I will just stick with the few chalices I already have and continue to collect zoas. When he told me that I must be my water it really upset me because there is no way my water has anything wrong with it.
Here are pics from the tank that I first introduced the chalice in:
DSCF1243 - Oh no!

Here is how it looks today I can sort of make out two eyes in actinic light only:
DSCF1238 - Oh no!

Based on my understanding of what happened, it wasn't your water but the dip that caused it. You picked up the frag, it looked ok, you brought it home, still looked ok, dipped it in the iodine solution after which it looks like your last pic. I don't see how you could blame or even ask the seller to have responsibility for the dip...unless I am missing a step?

We all make mistakes...most of the responses to this thread learned a similar lesson the hard way. But I don't think it is fair to the seller to blame him or her if it was the dip that caused the problem.

Couldnt agree more. Like Jim said, we all make mistakes.

And another +1 for Coral RX.
