I know you already have an idea on the monti but chalices can be cool too

Nice collections. It’s nice to see rainbows going a bit cheaper these days instead of $1k for an eye or two.

Chalices are incrusting LPS similar to the ones you posted. The other one you have is a lepto. It’s also a LPS but looks a bit more fuzzy with its polyps out. Chalices are relatively easy but can be naughty when too close to other corals. I had one eat some heads off my acan recently.

Very minor update: the other one you have is a “lepta” (leptastrea) I think, not a leptoseris.

And I agree. Chalices are interesting corals that will eat anything... albeit reeeeaally slowly.
