Hi...

I brought a load of frags from someone and have a couple that are unknown to me, at first I thought the coral on them may have died, you can see when the blue light is turned on there are colours on the rock .. not sure what they are.. can anyone help?

Thanks

I think the second one looks like a chalice, but it’s kind of hard to tell when the blues are on.

Yes, chalices are hard corals. They are in the lps or large polyp stony coral family. This particular piece looks similar to a Hollywood stunner. They grow over live rock like a blanket.
Do they show their colors in moon light or bright daylight
