I would suggest leptoseris or maybe a monti. If I'm not mistaken, chalice are fairly slow growers, and unless you look forward to waiting, you may regret it.
One more consideration, all decorations I have ever used in my freshwater tanks begin to flake or chip after a while. I'm not sure if saltwater makes it worse or not, but it may inhibit the coral's ability to encrust the structure.
:) my my two cents!

I'm not sure what Spongebob's house looks like :D but if you go with leptoseris, jack-o-latern would look really cool ;)

WWC Bizarro Cyphastrea all the way. Check what the house is made of. Paints and some plastics would be a bad idea.

The wwc bizarro would be cool, looks like an over priced superman monti though. I was thinking a jedi mind trick or jack o lantern lepto. They are made of injection molded resin so dont think there would be any leaching/flaking issues. I do have a habenaro monti but that's not the look I'm going for
