Edit:

I did find it (scroll down a few pics):

and here's mine:

yeah, its an oxypora but at the same time its fancy name is Hollywood stunner. I think Xtreme might have gotten it from me in my old tank. It grows super quick, and watch out for stinger;s at night.

I have a colony that looks pretty much the same. Originally I got it from Fooser. You think it's Oxypora John? I've been calling mine Echinopora Lamellosa (Hollywood Stunner is what I've seen them call it in the US). Check it out in Corals of the World and tell me what you think.

Just yesterday I noticed quite a long tentacle. And for a week there has been a side that is sorta close to the LPS on my superman that has some cyano or some red slimy algae growing on it. The coral is growing well I wonder if that area got stung?

I'd keep the LPS over the superman anyday it's awesome.

Thanks for the ID guys. I was wondering if it was a chalice, To me it didnt have the right structure, but i have never really experimented with lps too much so i am kind of slow on the subject.
