Can someone help ID this LPS?

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

It was just put into the tank five minutes before the photo. So, just needs some time, but thanks.

Thank you! I learned something new today. This is my first chalice, and I never knew they were fleshy!!!
