Are my trachys even real?

[jayteerq]

Is these 2 trachys I have a different species from my Google example? Or is it just because they’re babies and will one day grow into the Google example? Someone told me I have a different kind of trachy that will never look like the Google example and supposedly harder to keep also. If anyone knows more on this can you educate me? I’d love to see what a “colony” of the trachy I have will look like. Have only had them for a week from AquaSD.. I feel semi scammed and semi stupid for not doing my proper research haha

I am curious as well, because I really like the almost clam like way these ones look.

What were the pics at AquaSD? Those are the only ones that matter.

Trachys come in a million different colors.

AquaSD is famous for sending out corals that don't resemble the coral advertised. IMO it's a coral chop shop.

However your pieces are nice and will probably change coloration as they acclimate.
