Tabling growth form, mostly white with some green in the lower areas, purple towards the tips, very blue polyps.

Following.... I had that one last year. I bought it as blueberry squarrosa but I'm pretty sure its not squarrosa

More shots. Don't know if these help any or not.

The branches on mine are finer than that one. As they grow out from the tabling part the branches are the same width.

It kind of looks like a Nasuta to me. That was my first thought when I saw it. Nice, nice colony.

I think you got it. I found some rainbow nausuta images that match it exactly.

Thanks everyone!
