This mummy eye chalice is growing out of control. Its always grown fast but didnt pop very many new heads. It recently grew 5 new heads and 9 more are coming in. Its recently started putting out sweepers at night and is trying and has stung the hammer above it. (Its usually more puffy but got stung the other night so its shy) It seems its claiming its territory in 360 degrees cause the new heads are around the whole perimeter.

Is there any waynto frag it off this rock or do I have to cut the rock up?

Agree with Reefer40b. Aside from taking the rock out and cutting it, breaking is your option.

Is that a 3G Mummy Eye? OG?
 
It was sold to me as OG, would you agree? I dont even know the difference.

About breaking it, the sides are like soft tissue that contracts if it gets touched. Its not like a plating chalice.

Use a surgical knife to just Cut the chunks off. Make sure to leave at least an eye.
 
have you done this with a chalice?
Nope the the guy who sold me mines did that. I asked him how to do it in the future for my 300$ chalice. It shouldn’t be encrusted to the actual rock correct ? Mines is also soft flesh type.

The inner part is on the rock the rim is not attatched. My lfs just told me its thin cause it gets really low flow so the skeleton doesnt need to form.
