When I acquired this coral I thought it was a Monti, but since it’s gotten large (and it’s grown Quick) it’s got some crazy sweeper tentacles. What is this thing? Image is from when I got it, and currently. I bought it in June. Some sort of Chalice maybe?

Definitely a Hollywood stunner. Echinopora lamellosa.

Edit: be careful placing other corals near this, they are very aggressive and can have 6+” sweeper tentacles.

Edit#2: apparently you’ve already experienced it’s sweeper tentacles, lol. This is what I get for skimming over posts.

Thanks all! May have to move it to its own “island” to protect other corals. Appreciate the help!
