My lfs said it was a chalice, but i think it's a montipora? Any feedback appreciated! Thanks reefers!

It’s neither monti or chalice .
Looks like some type of trashe or acan to me.

Looks like sweeper tentacles typically associated with lps
Chalice have those also and chalice are considered a lps coral....my chalice sweepers get pretty long at night also:)

I could be wrong but acans have more defined mouths and head separation. This also looks to be growing over the plug which is indicating chalice growth. Where as acans start new heads.
