Can anyone conifrm if this is a Chalice? and which type of Chalice
Got it 2 weeks ago and can't see any mouth on it but it odes look like a chalice to me. Have it under medium high light and medium flow or should I move it?

Possibly Echinophyllia aspera. The mouths are there just very hard to see. Try putting it in low light or indirect light if using MH or T5 and watch it color up. Looks like it'll go in a blue or purple direction, but will be uniformly solid.

Veron's book Corals of the World. Or the Australian Institute of Marine Science has an interactive CD with all of Veron's coral specie taxonomy on it ( I want to get it myself!).
