Hey guys! I work with a ton of marine fish and coral at my local aquarium shop, and we got this coral in from a guy and we are all having debates about what kind of coral this is, the running debates are between chalice, cyphastrea, leptatrea! I would love yo know if any of you know exactly what this is or have one yourself, I've lost about 2 hours trying to find something thay looks similar... If I had to describe it to you; The base is a Red/Orange color and is hard like an sps but the polyps are large like a lps and they are green maybe slightly blue with stripes going through them, they tentacles coming off the polyps are long and they are rounded at the tips.

Ive attached 2 pictures, one with blue light and one without :) thank you for taking the time to read and respond!

I'm thinking none of those. Maybe a chalice but more than likely not. Maybe an Acan Echinata?

@thamnasteroid ?
