Looks like a favia to me. It's pretty cool looking.

Favia? Montastrea? Maybe some unknown acan? Pretty sure it's not a chalice though!

Regaurdless of species it's a very nice coral!

It looks like a favia to me.

 

[Reef Pets]

I vote Favia. Its hard to tell by the photo of the colony but the frag looks like a Favia to me.

 

[Burks]

It looks like a favia to me.

Agreed. 2nd picture makes it look fleshy.

I purchasedThat exact coral a few weeks back from ebay seller rnegret258It is now being offered from a different seller that is using the same exact pic. dont know whats up with that. there is a chalice thread on rc vote for the purdiest chalice or something like that. In that threas about 6-10 pages in a guy posted pics of it and claimed to have been to the sellers home in fla and purchased a piece.It is hard to tell what it is cause my piece is so small.When the flesh is pulled back the skeleton is spikey like a chalice. but when its puffy it looks like a cross between a favia and a chalice so Im not really sure. I really like it though its going to be spectacular when its big enough to see with the naked eye.

Mike, Megret has the original colony along with a few other real nice colonies. I think it was Juice who went to his house an dpicked soem stuff up. Apparently Kigs got some of it also but I think the colony pic is from Megret. Hope that helps.

The frag I have of this is small, but looks more like a favia to me. Still too early to tell.

Who is Megret person? Curious been seeing the huge colonies of corals he has.

Actually, the original colony came from Clint at diamonds in the reef. That guy you mentioned Mike or Megret is making a killing b/c that colony was 300 when it sold on Clint's site.
