Hmm you sure? It was very cheap

It was in the corner hidden as msc. Frags

@DSC reef @Lovemyreef2015 #reefsquad might know, lets see if they're able to confirm

Chalice.

If you got that very cheap you really lucked out. That’s a great looking chalice. I could easily see that frag being sold for $250+ from most vendors.

It was $40, though it is bigger now but the head count is same.

Chalice and you got a steal on that thing congrats

It’s a nice chalice! You lucked out...
You need to try and get rid of all that hair algae you have growing in your tank though! You will have a lot of problems with it taking over your tank and hindering the growth and health of your corals!

Looks like a Rainbow echinophyllia chalice.

 

[rkpetersen]

Agree with everyone, chalice, and a nice one.
Could be an echinophyllia.
The angulation of the large corallite makes me wonder if it's a mycedium.
I've not personally seen a mycedium in those colors though.
Very cool!

Very kool! Hopefully grows more eyes/mouths and cups up 4 u... as it grows it will b more clear what it is.

Yeah I know I started this tank from a tank that a anemone suicide bombed. I was not present so I guess it caused a chain of deaths. The new nano tank uses it's big rocks that may have alot of nutrients absorbed. It was a dirty tank anyways. But this nano tank has nirates<2.5 with refug and low phos (teamrowa). Though algae still grows from nutrients in the rock, it should subside after a few months I think

That's a beautiful chalice!

Yeah, totally worth the trip to this random store. It's developing new colours too. The orange and cyan blue spots wasn't originally there.
