LPS ID help
Hey All,
Picked this piece up from a local guy that sells coral out of his basement, well he threw it in because he didnt have change for the other corals I bought. He said it is a lepto, but everything I have read says they love shade. I have had to move this guy into more direct light and I still dont think it is enough as the edges curl up almost all of the time. Anyone have any idea on what it is? Is it a Chalice? |

Looks like a Lepto to me. Those skeletal ridges are fairly characteristic.

Would a lepto want direct light though? Its under 100 par and is still curling up some like it wants more light. When I put it in shade it retracted and the colors were muted.

My understanding is that it's a low light coral so 100 par sounds about right. I'd go real slow moving above 150.
