I watch these forums alot, but never really post but could use some LPS peoples help here..
This is apparently LPS (I think.) as it has a skeleton and is soft/slimy to the touch. BUT what kind is it is the question... LFS thought perhaps an echino of some sort because thats what the invoice said about it but I think it may be something different. its purple-ish with bright green mouths, but I have yet to see any feeding tentacles but only had it the one night yet. there are no definate polyps or anything just seems to be one large piece much like a chalice. any help would be appreciated thanks!

ps- the one on the left of course.. I know what the micro is lol
 
I also vote some form of echino. The corallite structure reminds me of the steve tyree blue chalice- forget what species that is.. without the cupping features of the growth pattern.

Bet it'll look nice when grown out!
 
The smaller polyps in relation to the acan next to it makes me lean toward echinopora. Nice coral for sure. :cool:
