A recent acquisition, I forgot what they said it was called at the LFS.

Chalice

Chalice. Might be a Hollywood stunner but can't 100% say with confidence.

100% Hollywood Stunner that will grow VERY fast. Be careful about your final location.

Grow very fast implies I won’t kill it—but I have it in a location that isn’t suitable for anything else, so hopefully it does!

^This 1000%. Here is mine in the beginning. Small, sweet and innocent. It has quickly quadrupled in size encroaching on other corals and adheres to the rock stronger than J&B weld. Never again

That’s a raja rampage. Close cousin

Ha! I don’t have a lot of experience with chalices. Thanks for the ID

Echinopora lammellosa

 

[ZzyzxRiver]

I’m the kind of reefer that can’t even get a Xenia to invade (I put it in too bright of light, it sits there pretty and never growing or expanding lol). I always laugh when I get warned about invasive corals (though it explains why this was in the cheap frag section of my LFS).

Thankfully I do have it in a section of tank that hasn’t been good for anything else (dimmer light with higher flow) and has plenty of space from anything beside the back wall, which I’d like utilized anyway.

Chalices are easy to frag, right? If it encroaches I can just break off a piece?

Yes they are very easy to frag, you can also glue the pieces onto frag plugs or let them grow out in the sand bed as long as nothing covers them up and the flow is not too fast. Anytime you frag or break off pieces I recommend adding in some activated carbon to suck out any toxins that are released from it being stressed. They heal up very fast though.
