LFS called it an Australian eyepopper chalice. Is this correct? Thanks.

It’s a chalice but don’t know the selling name
 
Agreed. I thought it was a cyphastrea myself. Now I’m thoroughly confused.
 
looks like a cyphastrea to me ... 100% not a a chalice :)
 
I was pretty sure it was cyphaestra but really enjoyed the brightness. I’m not overly concerned with name but since I think I’ll lower it down into the tank. I was mostly concerned so I could have correct tank placement.

Cyphastrea does better under low lighting.
 
I dropped it to the bottom of my tank. Trying to get the blue to come out. Renting a PAR meter this weekend to see what I look like.
