Hi all!

I could use some help identifying this coral. Under the lights it is vibrant yellow and orange. It really caught my eye, the coloration is striking.

It is in a mound shape, but is one sheet, like half a clam shell about 3-4 inches across.

I am thinking Montipora or maybe Psammocora? I want to make sure I place it right.

Thanks.

Neither one :) It is a chalice.
Thanks!

( before anyone points it out, I know I should have asked when I bought it, I did ask for the rest of my haul but this one was a bit of a last minute impulse:)
