What coral is this?

[TJ6404]

I got some corals from AquaSd and they sent me a free one but I have no idea what it is and I’m only doing a soft coral tank so I’m curious what it is and if it’s a soft coral thank you!

Hard to tell the body color but I’d guess alien eye chalice.

Is that a Lps, sps, or is it a soft coral cause it had sweepers which is why I’m worried about keeping it since I don’t dose

LPS. If it has long sweepers it’s probably a Hollywood stunner. Will sting the bejeezus out of your other corals. Give it a lot of space.

How hard are they to take care of and I’m doing a soft coral mixed reef tank so should I try to sell it or will it be fine with space?

I have one in my system that came as a freebie too. I put it on the back glass above everything else and it does great. Check it out, top right in this picture

It depends on the chalice honestly. Mid to low light (but some of them like higher par), low moderate flow. Enough to keep detritus off but not to wiggle the flesh. Should not have to dose with regular water changes. If the flesh is retracting and it’s laying super flat, it’s not happy. It takes them a while to eat and many of them are night feeders.
