can someone tell me what kind of coral is that? image.jpeg
 
I still confuse my self...but some sort of chalice i believe. Hard to tell exactly what kind givin the lighting
 
Could very well be a Goniopora. For a more accurate ID the coral needs to expand it's polyps.
 
I first thought it was a cyphastrea. But it could be an encrusting goniopora that is not happy. What are your water perimeters, and did you acclimate it to lighting and water?

I was thinking the same thing - that it looked more like a cyphastrea.
 
I have a few corals that came on my live rock that I was wondering if anyone could identify also.

I thought the bright green disk was a mushroom but don't know. When the light is off it shrinks about 1/4 of its size. The other flat thing when the lights are off completely folds up into a little pod and you can't hardly see it at all. Just become a little button
