1.5 months in now on the recovery from my initial $40 rescue purchase. I *think* the browning on the flesh is good, it's getting less transparent but could use confirmation on that from any lobo type peeps here. I've moved it into a cave so it gets more diffused light, somewhere around 80-100 par compared to the direct light it was getting before.

Looking good! I still say lobo, though the PE and coloring up are great signs! Does it have a strong feeding response?

I honestly have no idea what to look for on this thing for a feeding response. I don't see a mouth like I do on my SPS and other LPS

Could it be a Wellsophyllia Radiata?

Just trying to think of others. It looks to fleshy to me to be a lobo.

2.5 months into recovery, pic is taken at the highest PAR time of day so this one tends to look its worst around this time. I moved it under a different outcropping to try and keep the goby from dumping sand on it all day long- it's not visible in the FTS but it's located on the left side of the pic and in the "back."

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
