Common for a mummy eye? Uncommon? Never before seen? :)

Smnparish · Apr 21, 2013

Hi everyone, I have a question about my "Original Mummy Eye" chalice; I have been noticing recently that many of the eyes have developed more than one color within them, most of them being a dark green, a purple, or a lime green on top of the normal orange eye. I was wondering if this is commonly seen in this chalice, or if I have something rare going on? Thanks!

In this first one the dark green spot is displayed clearly in the center eye. If you have really good eyes you might be able to see some of the lime green-spotted ones; the four eyes in a pyramid shape to the right of the center eye all have a small lime green spot.

Here you can see the purple spotted-eye

I have a mummy eye and what I've noticed is that when it morphs to the orange it developes those multicolored eyes so its not rare. it's too much fun watching it turn into this

Hey Simon, What kind of lighting do you have yours under etc?

Tell me how I can get mine to do this. LOL.

the og mummy eye will morph under higher light

Lol thanks everyone! I wasn't actually sad

I have this on the bottom of a 125 six footer under the aquaticlife 6 bulb t5ho...not even a very blue color combo with the bulbs. Also have glass tops, so didn't think this would be high enough light to do this; I initially didn't want it to turn orange but now I couldn't have it any other way!
Otherwise, for flow it gets pretty good flow from the undertow of a 1400gph Koralia evo.
