    I bought this chalice months ago and its grown like crazy but I never figured out what kind it is. Its blood red and the eyes are even a brighter red. Any ideas as far as a name goes?

    The bottom one is my starry night montipora. Alex, is there a name for it? There's so many crazy names for chalices these days.

    Exactly. They are just made up names for different color morphs of the same corals. I am not one who likes the "gimmicky" names, so I agree with Alex on its name ;)

    Nice looking tank!

    The bottom one? You mean the MOnti just under the Chalice?
    Looks like my tyree monti flower, or I call it the blue polyped green Monti cap, I've got a blue polyped brown one also.

    Could we see close ups of the chalice, and the monti cap?


    Again nice looking DT.
