Unusuall chalice or something else?

[Tripod1404]

Any idea what this guy is?

It was sold to me at a very low price because being extremely aggressive to other corals in my LFS tank. Supposedly it came from another customer to them for the same reason. It hasn’t shown any aggression so far, and grew quite a bit.

It looks unusual compared to all the other chalice corals I know, in terms of tissue shape, as well as the fact that it is growing as a cup. It is beautiful mix of greens, pinks, oranges and blues, but unlike other chalices I have, doesn’t have rather hidden polyps.

Plating monti perhaps?

It has quite large polys for a monti (one is visible on the third picture in the middle of the green region).

No expert, but it looks like a chalice to me, and I just asked about one recently that I might go back and purchase.

Just a chalice. Likely Echinophyllia
