    Chalice? If it is, I believe its an SPS.

    edit: Thanks to Coralline, I am now aware that a chalice is an LPS, so ignore the above.

    Lighting equipment:

    2x65w 6500k cfl (this is for a pink sunset and to add to high noon. Brunch and mid afternoon these bulbs are not on.
    The main beast is a 120w dimmable led full spectrum that is on 60%!!!! Any higher and the corals get mad :)
    So it goes blues--blues/cfl---blues/whites--blues/whites/cfls--then reverse to dark. Moonlights not yet acquired.

    I agree with Cheryl on Chalice. No idea on species.
