How do you know of if a chalice is happy?

I've just gotten my first chalice coral, and I was wondering how you know they are happy in their spot in the tank. It doesn't seem like it does anything to show how they are feeling like a torch or duncan would with their extension and what not.

Anything in particular that I should be looking for?
 
they can be slightly puffy but just every so slightly and it depends on the species. some dont puff at all. Growth or growth color around the rim can be a helpful way to tell...additionally you would want to see a feeding response from the polyps. any sort of tissue recession would be an obv indicator that the coral is not doing well in its location. sliming would be an indicator as well.
