New chalice frag

[donkeys4hire]

Found this little guy today. Wanted to share. What's the name of this chalice?

 

[akitareefer]

Perhaps an acan echinata, hard to see with actinic only

 

[donkeys4hire]

It's definitely a chalice. Maybe a bubble gum monster or mummy eye.

 

[akitareefer]

Does it have large pink/orange eyes?

 

[donkeys4hire]

Orange

 

[akitareefer]

IMO it doesn't look like a mummy eye or bgm. The rings around the eyes look like a different coral

 

[HunterBryan]

i agree with akitareefer on it being a acan echinata!

+1 for acan, I haven't came across a chalice that grows so called rings around the mouth.

I also agree it is an Acan Echinata. An easy way to tell is to add some oyster feast or similar when the lights go out. All of my A. Echinatas put out their feeding tentacles. Chalice corals have tentacles as well, but they look different and aren't as circular around the mouth.
