Was given this coral as a gift, possibly a pavona but not seeing any reference pics look similar. Any ideas?

Chalice

 

[krookedsession]

cool thanks, ill move it a bit lower in my tank

Nice piece bro, most chalices have all kinds of crazy names I know a couple of them, but that’s about it

Its pretty cool looking. It seemed happy and had its polyps extended. It was in the upper 1/3 of my tank. Im running t5s and radions to brought it down 5 inches or so above the sand bed to not torch it

That’s really cool when they extend their tentacles

Looks simular to a pagota cup also.

Not peltata (which is Duncanopsammia now btw); polyps not large or "Duncan-like" enough

It looks just like the pic in the link.
So then, what is it?

Things change as far as names, I can't keep up.

OP's coral has smaller corallites with less duncan-like polyps. It's pobably something like mesenterina
