    Hey all here is a coral I got about three weeks back...

    and here's what it looks like today: (Sorry Day lights have shut off)

    Can you guys let me know what you think? I was told it was a Leptoseris but now it looks like a Brain of some sort. It is about 2.5 times larger than it was yesterday, I mean swollen wise. This weekend one of the LFSs was at my house doing some service and they said they thought it was a chalice. Have you heard of a Chalice or a Leptoseris ever swelling up like this? Is this something I should get worried over? Or, is it something that I should remove from the tank so nothing else gets damaged?

    Personally I'd leave it be for now. Doesn't seem to be hurting anything :) it does look like an LPS-in the top pic it looks totally retracted and is just now coming out.

    +1 Usually inflation is a good thing. Can you get a better picture of it. Doesn't look like a chalice.

    Thanks guys,
    I'll take a better photo tomorrow with the day lights on and use a camera rather than my cell phone.
