So I picked this up last weekend, was a rusty redish with gold tips. Its starting to change a bit to a more purple under my LEDs.

Then I have this one that seems to get a lot pinker under higher light. Somone said watermelon chalice but most I've seen are a lot pinker than mine.

And this is a mystery to me. It was sold to me as a multi mouted fungia and I've was told its probablly a chalice but I have yet to see any chalice with fungia like feeding polyps and this type of skeleton

Second one appears to be some type of Watermelon. Can you take any pics not so zoomed in, and a little less blue. Would help everyone help you out more.
