Callinl The Chalice Experts!!!!

I just picked up a colony of the chalice below

A coupe things stuck out to me.
1. The top middle edge has the similar light blue striations forming
2. The bottom left has a little bit of green diff. from the blue zebra.

It reminded me of the blue zebra from CC

What do you guys think?

Photos are from either vendor or wholesaler. If there is any issue I can take them down. Simple just using them for comparison.

Nice pick up! There are several variations of orange w/(insert other color(s) here) markings chalice. Your new one does look similar, but not the same as the blue zebra. However it is difficult to compare a large colony to a large frag. I love seeing these orange ones under blue LEDs or actinics, they pop so hard!

Thank you! I am excited to see what it does in captivity. It will be interesting to see if the colors become more defined or if they are more "swirl in" appearance.

I like the rainbow chalices. But honestly the blue zebra is one of the hottest chalices I have seen in awhile.
