So my question for the cafe is first picture was sold as a chalice but has some characteristics of a pectinia the growth and the way the mouths are what is everyones thoughts....i dont want to place in an area that is going to be an issue but this lfs employee i dont necessarily trust as they are freshwater dominant (my usual employee was off today that i do corals with)....opinions? I am not chalice familiar and have a coupke that are my firsts that were picked up today...

I believe it is a chalice. I'm also not convinced that there are a few different species of chalice (pectinia being one of them). The majority grow very flat with minimal coralite growth around the mouths. While others show pronounced growth around the mouths but no upward growth. Yours seems to be the latter and it can be influenced by flow and lighting.

Pectinia or Chalice, both usually require space, right?

 

[N1tew0lf1212]

So sweepers can be like the space invader sweepers then? i have it currently on the rack below a couple torches but have space on the rack to shift it away...
