Ok,
So this post is going to show my ignorance about corals, even though I’ve been keeping reef tanks for over a decade.
I have a chalice that I moved from my old, neglected tank that was more brown (same lighting).
I thought it had algae on it, but it’s still more green with some purple showing now. The eyes are dark. Is this still alive? There isn’t any of the bleaching or receding I’ve seen with some chalices in the past.
Also, if it is alive, any idea what it might be. I got it so long ago as a frag and now it’s probably 4x6. If it’s worthwhile I’ll try to frag it for the swap. But if I’m an idiot and it’s not really alive, well...
Here it is under white lights no blues:
