What Coral Is This?

[Anthony Kochevar]

I made a online purchase a month ago on a large coral seller. I don't think I got what I wanted. One cyphastrea coral died, The Acan is not the color in the website. I also got this. It also doesn't look like the cyphastrea on the website ether. I think it might be a chalice but I'm not sure, it broke in tow getting it off the plug and I glued it in different areas of the tank. All frags were $10 each so not a big loss but I'm still disappointed with the seller.

Anyway what is this?

Looks like a chalice to me but I don't have a lot of experience with them so I'm not sure.

A lot of sellers photograph their frags under blues to make the colors pop, it's not uncommon. For $10 a frag you can't expect perfect representation or a perfect frag, ime.

Chalice for sure

Mycedium/aka Chalice of some type.

That is what I thought. When I bought it, it was a blue and yellow cyphastrea on the Salt Critters website.

Maybe they sent you the wrong coral accidentally? That looks nothing like cyphastrea.
