Just picked up this frag from the LFS. It wasn’t labeled as anything, but I am assuming it is a chalice of some kind. Any thoughts on what kind?

Looks like it is from Google images. Pretty cool coloration for $45.

Never heard of a lobophyllid chalice before. It did look “fluffier” than a typical chalice.

Lobophylliid refers to the family Lobophylliidae. The chalices in that family are Echinophyllia, Oxypora, Echinomorpha, and Paraechinophyllia.
