spanko i think this one will be beter to me. since the chalice needs high light and lots of flow. ima have the k1 but the monti needs moderate to high light

It is the one I would try first, then if you have success with it maybe try some of the others that have been suggested.

Chalice dont need high light, Most of the times in tanks do better in shaded areas. U just have to play around with whats the best spot for it.

chalice doesnt need much light at all. i think spanko got it wrong by mistake. they dont do good under high lighting. chalice comes in red, green, purple, and other colors.

May have bob, it is and Echinopora sp. though isn't it?
Nope just got out Bornemanns coral book and it is really Echinophyllia. (got my Echino'a mixed up hee hee) I apologize all, this coral, the Chalice echinophyllia "Tends to enjoy medium reef lighting conditions and will show it with lots of color. One of the few corals that can color up as much or more under PCs and VHOs than Halides. If put under halides, place low in the tank or in some shade for best color."
Sorry for the mix up folks..........................
