No one has any idea what to look for in healthy drags of either halice or favites?

For chalices I find that when mine is happy all of the little mountains on it are rounded as the flesh is slightly inflated. When its not happy they look very sharp. Another thing when they are unhealthy the flesh slowly recedes on the skeleton. By the looks of it your chalice is healthy.

This is good advice, the Favites will be similar, flesh will look puffier and rounder. The points on the corals will become lighter/whitish just before the points break the flesh when it is starting to recede.
