Coral ID

[rongy]

Can anyone help id this coral? Got them from fellow reefer. It looks like some kind encrusting sps or monti cap, but it’s very very aggressive. Kills acan and sps near by (doesn’t even touch), so it’s more like lps for its aggressiveness.

Anyone know what it is?

I thought about that, but it only has one large eye with a few small eyes in the center. No eyes on the side.

Thank you! It just look like any other chalice that I have. Its flesh is so thin that it feels more like monti cap

Hollywood stunners are also thin with small eyes. I had a very similar reaction when I saw it for the first time.

Just like the Pierce Brosnan version of James Bond in Golden Eye...don't be fooled, it's a killer!!
