I’ve had this for more than a decade — I bought it as a “high-end” piece but forgot the name. Oh btw: it probably grew 0.5” during this whole time! :(
Any help ID’ing it would be appreciated.
My rainbow chalice is a fast grower compared to this, doubling its size in 2 years!I’ve had this for more than a decade — I bought it as a “high-end” piece but forgot the name. Oh btw: it probably grew 0.5” during this whole time! :(

Just a wild guess so don’t quote me
Correct, definitely not an Echinopora but what does it look like? “Ultra Orange” (or something similar) rings a bell. Perhaps I’ll just name it and make kazillions selling it as frags? How about “Aussie Ultra Holy Grail Easter Fanta Chalice”
Echinophyllia, not Echinopora. They are two different genera. As for the trade name, I don't know as I'm not good with trade names. I wouldn't count on being able to make much on frags of this coral as lobophylliid chalices (Oxypora, Echinophyllia, Echinomorpha) don't grow very fast.
I have many Echinophyllias (there, I’ve said it, lol) and understand their growth patterns. However, this one in particular has been the slowest in the tank! I was being silly on the last post btw
