Oxypora or Echinophyllia

I'm trying to figure out what type of coral is this? Is it an oxypora or an echinophyllia?





Thanks for looking.

I think it is in the chalice group - not really sure though. But, hopefully someone will chime in and confirm that.

kinda echinoporaish to me. at the top you see the typical crown like mouth structures you find on mycedium. but towards the bottum of the coral you see small mouths more like echinos. well i have several of them all and the only one i can find both on are echinoporas. but thats just my opinion

Which genera are part of the "Chalice" family, scientifically speaking of course?

Or do you mean is it worth and arm and a leg on e-bay?
