Coral identification

So I bought this at my LFS about 6 month ago. It was all bleached out, but for $10 I thought it was worth a shot



Any idea what it is? The white on the left edge is new growth, finally! It colored up to a purple like color.

purple with green eyes? maybe an alien eye chalice?

 

[TBGator]

Purple with white eyes.

Echinophyllia sp.​

OK. I know there are a million different chalices. Have you ever seen one with white eyes or could those change eventually too?

No healthy coral that is photosynthetic is white. Those eyes will color up for you
