Its growing towards the light, pretty cool. I'd keep it their to see if continues that growth pattern. Is that a goldmiester chalice?

Wwc hellboy chalice. Growing towards the light means it wants more of it ? Like when zoas stretch ? Thanks for the reply’s guys

I don't necessarily think so, it may just be the coral growth itself. It's colors are bright so it's not lacking light. I'd be afraid to move it to be honest.

I wish y’all could see how much it cups up lol. It looks cool and isn’t lacking color so I’ll leave it and see what happens. I was just curious and wanted to see what other people thought

I haven't seen any wild pictures that show detailed growth form of Oxypora or Echinophyllia, however, based on the accepted common name of "chalice coral" I wouldn't expect a cup shaped growth form to be uncommon.
