Chalice? Favia? Favites?

I'm new to saltwater keeping. Learning a ton. But I'm trying to ID this frag I bought. I wanna make sure I'm taking care of it correctly. I think I has too much light in it's placement now.

Looks like a painted war coral so a favite. I’ve got mine on the bottom and it’s doing well, but I also run metal halides.

Moderate lightning and moderate flow is what this coral requires.

I'm thinking chalice. Favia & favites tend to have more defined corallites than this. Favia have distinct corallite walls for each polyp; favites share them.

Favites pentagona, getting to much light.

I think @DSC reef & @Deaf clown nailed it. If you look closely you can see the separate corallites and that distinct two tone coloration.

Yep, I agree.
