Can you ID this coral? Image was taken with an orange filter under blue light.

Thank you rtparty! But would you know the more precise identifier (given that there is one)?

Thanks anyways!

I’d google green chalices and see if a search pops up something close

What color are the eyes? From the side, it almost looks like a Cobra Eye.

Red. When I got it it was glowing slightly yellow

Hmm. Cobra Eye is the closest I can think of based on the picture, but the eyes are more orange on that one.

In my opinion the cobra has orange eyes - which is not the case for mine. Based on visual inspection the closest ist the Mycedium elephantotus
