Can anyone help me identify this chalice? My local LFS had several frags of it that “some old guy dropped off” I ended up grabbing them and was curious if it is a “signature coral” from any vendors. I have yet to find anything like it in my google searches and wandering through the big name coral sites. The yellow “knobs” are raised similar to TG Oblivion chalice. Photo is unedited with a gel filter and under heavy blue as lights were ramping down, but colors in pic are pretty true to reality. Any help is appreciated!

Wow cool chalice! Not sure, i'm leaning more towards a "rose gold" or "ultra gold" sort of morph. Grow it out and see what it does!

Thanks, I have had probably 10+ gold chalice variants and none like this, the base is orange, new growth ring is pink, the nubs are yellow, and there is a teal/blue ring around each eye. I think it is going to be a stunner when it grows out!

I think it's an Oxypora, but it could also be an Echinophyllia.
