Coral ID, possible chalice (neon green/neon orange)

[gmate]

Got this coral as a freebie from another reefer when I bought a bunch of stuff from his tank.

It's been in my tank now about 7 months. It's doubled in size (very, very slow growing). The colors are morphing as it grows out to the left, going from neon orange to neon green. It's still very small with only one mouth and feeder tentacles that come out. It's about the size of a dime, believe it or not.

I can't make out any specific discernible skeletal structure (chalice, favite, war coral) but the colors are pretty amazing.

It's so slow growing I'm inclined to say chalice. It has great polyp extension and apparently loves high flow / high light. I just can't get it to grow fast. Bummer.

I wonder what 'kind' of chalice or 'name' chalice this is with those colors though. I'd love to see what a picture of a full sized colony would be.

Glenn I don't think that's a chalice but it sure is sweet. In fact why don't u bring it over for a keeper I mean closer inspection lol

Thing doesn't really look like a chalice to me as I haven't seen any that have that sort of mouth, looks frickin sweet though. Hopefully someone spot's what this is.
