Know what coral this is?

[KaileyMarieee]

We were just given this huge plate coral. It was being stung in someone else's tank so its not in the best shape. Hoping to nurse it back to health... Dont know what it is though? Any ideas?

Looks almost like a chalice

Right off the bat looks like a chalice to me. That's LPS, could be SPS (Don't know my sps well) but that's my guess

**Edit I look closer and while it definitely a chalice I think it echinophyllia. Maybe similar to the "avatar" chalice if we talking hobby names.

Echinophyllia - Pectiniidae family............ Big fan of Latin names, not made up cartoon names ( LOL ) don't get all upset just a light hearted joke from a reefer with 45 years under his fat belt

pectiniidae doesn't exist anymore. It has been synonymized with merulinidae
