Chalice name?

[aresangel]

When I got this at a swap I was told it was a watermelon chalice. After looking at some pics of the many varieties of watermelon chalice I think it's something else. It looks like a muted bubblegum chalice. But I ask the experts!

Looks like a mummy eye to me.

This is a good read.

Is there a lot of variation within "named" corals? It seems google image search or even people selling chalices have different colors for the same name. That does look closer to what I have but when I searched mummy eye it had more of an orange tint to the flesh with the green.

Yes you are right. There are many variations in coral. Even within the same tank a chalice can look different.

Someone mentioned "reverse watermelon". When looking at some mummy eyes they seem to have more of an orange eye color. Is that a wrong assumption? Should I just be calling these things reverse watermelons?

Sounds good to me. It's a beautiful chalice no matter what you call it. ;)
