Chalice baby?

I think it looks like a chalice....I don't have any. What does it look like to you all? Where did it come from? A spore from my live rock? Pretty cool regardless...it is about half the size of my pinkie fingernail. I mounted it on a piece of rock....good idea? Didn't want to lose it in the sand bed or behind the live rock.

Not a chalice for sure I'm thinking acropora got one that color in the tank?

Defiantly looks like a chalice or monti of some sort.

I say monti or acro, we should know soon.
