+1 Hollywood stunner no doubt. They have VERY long tentacles (several inches) that will come out and attack other corals. Give it a LOT of space. They also grow very fast.

Chalice coral. This one looks like a typical Hollywood stunner, which I believe is Echinophyllia aspera.. they can be quite aggressive:
“ The Echinophyllia genus are aggressive, forming stinging sweeper tentacles on some nights. The Chalice Coral needs to be kept away from other corals as it will sting any that it can reach. These corals can have a a sweeper tentacle length of up to one foot. Although the sweepers do not come out every night, be sure to take their reach into consideration when placing them.”
