Chalice ID?
 
I have these 2 chalices that I am either still coral sitting or have been given... Not sure where that's going BUT..... I have never been a chalice guy and haven't payed much attention to what names and colors are. What are these guys? http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/25/ajunuqad.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/25/usejy4ez.jpg

On the second one, the side with more green is turned away from the light and the blue side is facing the light.

Is there any kind of reference guide to chalice corals for identifying them? They seem to have as many names as zoa's
