somebody gave this to me because they said they could never get it to grow.... he said it was a chalice but I have never seen a chalice like this with very big eyes .... as it was growing it looked to be a scoly. then it looked like a chalice but after seeing it last night when I was feeding my other chalices im not sure what it is now.....1st pic with 1 very large mouth in center pic was taken on 4/22/14


2nd and 3rd taken last night 6/30/14...you can see the feeders from 4 very large mouths



4th pic taken this morning 7/1/14... you can see 5 large eyes without feeders



if anybody has any ideas what this is please let me know because I have never seen a chalice with mouths this big
thanks

I'm also thinking Acan echinata, with a small possibility of Acan rotundoflora.
