    My friend had a coral in his tank that I was considering buying, it is a type of chalice coral but I dont have an exact ID on it, I was wondering what the exact name of it is, not scientific name just the common one. It is a type of chalice coral, it is brown with green eyes. What is this coral?

    Pics would be a huge help in this situation. Possibly get one and post it?
