Thanks, probably just my photography, it's a pretty baby blue in person.

For reference this is a green rim in the same tank:

There are several chalices that get a blueish rim. Some named more un-named. They are referred to reverse watermelon chalices.

Couldn't find anything blue rimmed with a Google image search. This one originally came from WWC via a local fish store. I don't know if they had a name for it (the store didn't know either). I saw Jason Fox has a blue-ish rimmed chalice too called "Ambush". Anyone have a pic of this in their tank?

WWC has dozens of chalices, more un-named than named. If it was a Jason Fox from WWC the place you got it from would have know the name since the price would have reflected the Jason Fox name. It may of been a Jason Fox but more than likely the price tag would have reflected it. If from WWC stock they bring it huge colonies and frag them up. If they like the look they sometimes name it name the piece, but not always. If you are looking for a name of the chalice that may be very hard to do. I wish WWC had a page of all their named chalices with pictures of mother colony not just a small frags.

I have seen jason fox ambush. It has a pink/reddish body more solid in appearance than yours. Yours looks purple bodied with pinkish overlay highlights. But sometimes camera pix are not true in color.

Perhaps you misunderstood. I'm not looking for a name for mine, personally I care more about looks and uniqueness than branding. I never said that this was Jason Fox's Ambush either, I was merely asking if anyone had/has it and if they have a picture of it. I understand that WWC doesn't brand every coral that they get in either. I was merely describing its origin (They sell to Lfs also, not just hobbyists). They may have branded it or not, I don't really care, but it might be easier than referring to it as "blue rimmed chalice" all the time. I still want to see someone's pic of the Ambush in their tank, surely someone has it.

Do you happen to have a picture or a link? Tried finding it through Google, no dice.

I guess I should go ahead and clarify. I really like this variation on chalices. I know everyone usually goes gaga over the rainbows (and I like those too), but sometimes I enjoy collecting a variety of a particular coral. Mostly I collect unusual or rainbow acans and cyphastrea. I'm looking for another variation that has an actual blue rim that I could trade for or purchase. Most of the "blue rims" I have found are either white growth rims that have been saturated with blue lighting or possibly "enhanced" from photoshop. I'm not saying that is the case with any particular branded "blue rim" either; merely I am simply trying to see multiple variations and pictures before I drop big bucks or trade nice corals for something that might not be exactly what I was looking for.
