Nothing wrong with you naming it. It was likely a wild or maricultured piece so no name would come attached to it. Even if a seller has one similar with a name you really can't name it the same since you didn't get it from them. Naming used to carry some weight because it signified tank raised, aquacultured corals. Now a days every wild/maricultured coral gets a name slapped on it even before it's had time in captivity. I have some Acros I've named but they were wild/maricultured pieces that I've had success growing and fragging in my tank. I don't name anything unless I can grow it successfully and repeatedly.

There are dozens of rainbow chalices that look like yours and are named differently at each seller. They are very pretty and still demand higher prices compared to other chalices. Red and blue body with rim being orange or green when adjacent to red or blue portions respectively. Cornbred had at least 5 with that coloring.
