Mummy coral identification

I picked this up around 9 months ago, it's supposed to be a mummy eye chalice. Growth has been pretty slow and the color's mainly just on the edge - it's green.

Definitely a chalice. The pic's a bit tough to read, and it's mostly pink, so hard to say for sure if it's a mummy eye.

I'll try and get a better pic, sorry about the iPhone quality. It's pretty pink, but there's a bit of green at the bottom, don't know if you can make it out.

I'm curious, what was the price tag on that Mummy Eye chalice of yours? I saw one at my LFS that looks pretty similar, but it's only $15 so I figured it couldn't be the real deal. I've always assumed Mummy Eyes would go for a lot more, especially at a local shop.

I got a few frags from a guy up north so it came out to like $10 a piece. Got a Miami hurricane from him too, that one looks legit to me

Try putting it in lower light, might help bring out the green.

Appreciate the advice, gonna give it a shot. Put it in a shadier spot, see how it does.
