So I picked up this chalice, just wondering if anyone knows the name of it, or if it has one lol

Looks more like a Favia, Favites than a chalice.

I appreciate your response, but I have to disagree where I can see how it looks like a favia. It's encrusted on to a coral plate, definitely a chalice just not sure what kind

I don't think it a chalice either. I would say platygyra.

Agreed. That's the word I was looking for.

Do these have the same growing patterns as chalices? Now that I can totally see the similarity in. Let me try and describe it a little better. It's orange and green, there is no raised edges or bumps in between the colors either, growing round in the same way a chalice would, produce sweepers at night maybe about an inch to inch and a half long

looks like a worm brain to me (platygyra)

They can grow flat like a chalice or in a dome shape. Growth will be fairly similar to a chalice.

I stand corrected lol
