A friend of mine needed some cash, so he told me he was selling the whole thing.

I got a couple other reefing buddies to in on it with me, as i could not afford it on my own.

He has lineage that calls it the aquascene goldeneye (or 4 color chalice)...

personally, i dont care what he heck its called, the colors you see are dead accurate, and it was worth every penny....needless to say, it was a lot of pennies=)

its definitely not a micedium robokaki, looks more like an oxipora with bright pink eyes. I may have just gotten a small frag of one like that, i was shown the mother colony mine came from and it is very similar to your piece.

i saw a pic of chalice called goodie gum drops. I think that may-be it.

Those coralites are way too big and the skeleton appears way too smooth for an Oxypora IMO.

I would lean more towards Mycedium.

I agree. Looks like a mycedium. The way the polyps are tilted is a pretty good sign. A closer, clearer pic would be needed to identify it further though.

 

[BeakerBob]

I think mycedium too. The coralites are raised on one edge and pointing outward from the center, a true sign of mycedium.

 

[jy544]

Mine has grown since I took that picture. I just fragged mine for the second time about 3 weeks ago. It is a very slow grower.
