Looks like a small scoley

Maybe a chalice, I would ask more pics under whites before a decision not seen many blue frag plugs in my time

Chalice, but not sure of a name specifically. Very pretty.

Blue gold chalice. Probably has a dozen names depending on the vendor. I've seen it called gold crush chalice.

Definitely not a scoly (scolys are singular polyps). Looks like either a chalice (as mentioned) or an Acan echinata.

It’s a trick picture , I only saw one polyp and one mouth . It was like looking at The back of a captain crunch cereal box and you have to look for a object hidden in the picture !!! I found one mouth . Lol !!!

It's definitely not an echinata; you can tell by the texture of the flesh. If it is an acan, it would probably be a rotundoflora as rotundofloras tend to look like chalices.

Chalice. It’s on a 1” plug so it’s just a single eye with a couple more in the encrusting part.

Thats two “definitely nots “ in a row .if you turn your head it looks like Antarctica or Australia maybe . If it wasn’t so bright in your face color enhanced !!! For all we know this could be on a head of a pin under the microscope. Just kidding !!!

I still think it could be a scoly !!!
