Hi all. I just purchased this at my LFS. I thought it was a pectinia, but the employee said it was a chalice. When I got it home and touched it, it is not hard, but squishy. Now that I see the skeleton I’m sure it’s not a chalice. I’m re-thinking pectinia?

Any ideas. I just put it in the tank, but it was fuller at the store.

The iridescent, multicolored hues under actinic lighting are characteristic of chalice corals
