Any idea what this guy is?

It was sold to me at a very low price because being extremely aggressive to other corals in my LFS tank. Supposedly it came from another customer to them for the same reason. It hasn’t shown any aggression so far, and grew quite a bit.

It looks unusual compared to all the other chalice corals I know, in terms of tissue shape, as well as the fact that it is growing as a cup. It is beautiful mix of greens, pinks, oranges and blues, but unlike other chalices I have, doesn’t have rather hidden polyps.

Nice
I have had many chalices that look like this 'type' - for lack of a better term. It must be a subspecies that we just lump into the chalice name.

Sometimes called 'nacho cheese' - an orange/blue mix - has the exact same type mouth and fluffy body that this piece has.
It's my favorite kind but also seems to be the fussiest.

I don’t see anything that looks like this one much - a light blue / teal with red mouths
