In the first photo I assume you're talking about the Stylophora bird nest, the second photo looks like a purple/green dot chalice

It looks more like a birds nest. Does it require very special care I do have good lighting and flow my nitrates are about 10- 20 ppm and phosphate might be about 0.5- 0.25 is that too high for this sps

It looks like a pocci to me, I hear there a easier type of sps coral
Yes and spread fairly quick which doesnt bother me. After 5 months, my colony has advanced maybe an inch along the tank

Stylos and pocci don’t require very much special care, just keep them in light with medium flow and they’ll be just fine, reefroids optional. The Hollywood stunner will start growing like a weed once it’s happy, medium to high light and a good amount of flow

Should I place my chalice on the rock or the substrates ,will it sting my zoanthids if I put it on the rocks and do I need to feed it?

Rock for the chalice is great, does produce sweepers so place accordingly. The other one is pretty docile as long as it’s not directly touching anything.
