Chalice?

I picked this guy up along with a dozen other frags and can’t figure out if it is a chalice and if it is happy…any help, sorry about the light

Could be a rasta or space invader (pectinia).

You might be right in the space invader. I might need to move.

Edit, it just has some much purple in it, not so sure

I'm going off memory of one I saw at my LFS that had a lot of purple in it like yours (may have recalled the name wrong). They're also sold as rainbow.

It's definitely a merulinid of some sort; not sure if it is a chalice or not. Mycedium and Echinopora are the chalices in this family; it's definitely not Echinopora but it might be a Mycedium. can you get a top-down shot of this coral?

Definitely not Pectinia; Pectinia grow irregular spiky fronds like this:

If we're talking about the coral right in the front then I would gander to say that's a favia of some sort.

I have some Favias, I originally thought that this what I bought but when I brought it home it doesn’t really look like it

my wwc space invader was green with yellow eyes. Hollywood stunner chalice comes to mind for me

Yeah definitely not that. I guess we can all agree it is a chalice of some sort right?!?
