    Picked this up today from my LFS, they brought it to my town from WWC and I ended up trading them a bunch of frags for it and a couple other things. As soon as I saw it I had to have it, but I cant seem to nail down a name for it. Anyone have any idea on what its called?

    Yup, The names are all made up, different places can have different names for the same coral. Find one that is close and go for it LOL How about Key Lime Mango Sherbert Mycedium LE

    It's too hard to tell the colors in the picture but I agree. There are more beautiful chalices than have fancy names. Unless you're really into the status thing of having LE/"rare" etc corals I wouldn't worry about it.

    Some people really get into it and if you falsely identify it then you're worse off then calling it "that cool chalice I got". ;D
