Coral ID and overall health

[intenseimage]

We were given this coral a few weeks ago ... I beleive it may be a chalice. It was looking a bit more plump and w a green edge until we switched lights. We went from a lower power Marine Orbit led setup to a pair of Radion XR15 Gen4 Pros.

I am wondering if we have the intensity too strong as the coral seems to be loosing some of its green rim and is looking more "boney" so to speak ... It's those ridge lines I don't remember seeing before that lead down from the green mouths

It does look like a chalice to me. Many chalices like very low light. I have two right now and one seems to like moderate light and the other seems to like very low light. I have the latter basically in the shade. I made the move because part of the chalice that was in direct light (on the sand bed) had less color and I wasn't sure if it was just new growth or if it was not happy. I did some research and it seems like a lot of chalices like very low light but you might be able to acclimate it to higher light.
