If it's a no named coral you get to name it if you want to.
Look's nice has potential

 

[Wills612]

I'm not really into names just wanted to google it if need be and see some bigger ones. It was on the bottom of the 120g. But, I think a good name would be rainbow sherbet.

You can still call it rainbow sherbet but I'd designate O st. Rainbow or your name rainbow to avoid any conflict of the name game

I actually google it after I thought of the name and saw that one, lol. There's a few that look very similar.

 

[Paulca916]

Ya saw that
FWIW some of my favorite corals were no name wild caught over the years
What's in a name ? LoL
At one time they were all wild no name imports
Some really awesome ones coming in now days like from Reef Raft look on the SPS forum I think it's Jaw Dropper ?
Some really insane SPS almost made me want to start another tank lol

Dude that chalice has mad potential! Let us know how it does

 

[Wills612]

Yea I'm pretty stoked about it looks great under LEDs too, the pink really pops. It just bumped my strawberry short cake to 2nd favorite.

Wow. That does look like it has great potential! What kind of LEDs are you running at this time?

Vega blue

Looks like a Echinophyllia to me. A nice pickup as well.

What are your guys opinion on lighting for this dude? I have it next to a Miami hurricane that is doing well, but I was thinking that this piece being lighter colors maybe slightly higher light? What do you guys think?

 

[SammyJ916]

Lower light for most chalices, Miami hurricane could grown under a flash light or directly under a heat lamp, so don't base it off that. From my experience especially for multicolored chalices lower light is much better. Maybe some chalice freaks can chime in here and correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Wills612]

Few updated pics. Best I could do with LEDs and an iPhone. Its got more pink, yellow, and orange, that doesn't show up in the pics.
