Chalice ID please ?!?!

[Dowtish]

I picked this up at my LFS this weekend. Anyone have a name or seen something similar?

Hard to see full color. But is it a pinkish red with blue teal steaks and orange mouths?? If so I picked up one very similar at lfs in Wichita ks.

Its more like magenta or crimson red. But yeah, then teal streaks and orange mouths. It had some sort of string attached to it at the base, made me think it was maricultured.

Typed from my phone, because I have nothing better to do.

Very similar but there is no bright orange eyes on that one.

That is true, but it seems they mentioned the color of the eyes on that one, like they knew. Making me assume they had a colony and fragged it.

ahh gotcha i guess they do. well either way its a nice one you got congrats!

Thanks very much. I think I can still call it orange eyed cherry bomb:bigsmile:
