Chalice suddenly inflating ??
 
My Chalice coral has suddenly inflated its tissue. Alot.

that's interesting.

I don't really know much about this. Maybe this is peace of mind...

I bought a frag of (what the shop called) alien eye chalice Sept 14th. It always had this more fleshy appearance than my other chalices. I just thought, hey, even if mis-named by shop owner... I like the colours and can heal/grow this frag. To this day, it still has this fleshy appearance but seems fine.

Based on observing my Chalices I'd say it is probably happy and healthy. Mine expand and deflate on a regular basis but just like other LPS seem to be inflated and puffy when they are content.
