Chalice gurus?

Can any of you ID this? I found it at an LFS today and it's so pretty. My pics don't do it justice, but it's a pinky purpley with a bluish rin and lemon lime eyes.

Looks like the ORA Easter Egg chalice. I have one. Looks identical.

thanks! They do look similar. The eyes on this one are a little greener than the pics I found, but very close :)

Definitely not a lamellosa. I have a big Sprung Stunner (you can actually see it in the background of the first pic) and they are not the same. This one has the texture and eye size of an echinophyllia.

they don't all look like the stunner. The lamellosa is one of the most common imports for fish stores there are quite a few variants of the lamellosa

It just doesn't look like one to me. Lamellosas are thinner with closer, smaller eyes, and have more of a petal growth pattern. Here is a pic of them together to show the difference.

Correct. It is NOT lamellosa.

E. aspera is the very common one (but that's not to say it's necessarily what you have here; it could be however).
