    Hello I got this coral from Petco a few weeks ago for 25 bucks. I’m not exactly sure what it is but I’m thinking it’s a Green Chalice. However the pictures I’ve seen of Chalices don’t have ridges like mine. I recently got a chalice and two monti caps that don’t resemble this either. Let me know...

    Coral identification

    Hi all, I'm having trouble IDing this coral with 100% certainty. It was sold to me as an acan, but I've had conflicting opinions come in afterwards from other reefers. I can't find anything online that resembles it, but maybe I'm not looking in the right places. Any help is appreciated.

I've attached pictures of it under mostly white and mostly blue light. The polyps do not extend, or at least in the past few months have not extended, further...

    Hey all, I recently started up my first reef tank & decided to snag a few "starter friendly" frags from my LFS to place in QT while I finish getting my display tank prepped.

    Polyp extension very nice!!!

    IDK what coral this is but the polyp extension has been super great and wonder if it will explode even more. I’m thinking it’s a stylo but haven’t found any close to this coloration. purple with blue rings and yellow polyps. Would like to frag this as well
