Crazy! When i picked it up 6 months ago, it was very beaten up and never seen any mouths on it till recently! Thanks everyone

not bad looking....is it very thin? if so it may be a blue lamellosa chalice...it was a real early Tyree LE.....look it up and see if that's it...I had a real pretty one some years ago....

Here is a link to the ReefFarmers original image...that's Tyree's operation...

Yep, its a blue and the darker areas are brown. It is changing to more blue, not sure if brown is die off or different color.

Probably just localized brown out....mine did real good with lots of light and actually became quite the eye catcher....

It is about 6 inches around and getting big quick. Kinda thinking about fragging.....

If yours is like mine it is really thin and would be easy to break but I recommend a dremel just so you can control what you are taking off....
