Can I get a more specific ID?

View attachment 646859 View attachment 646858 Was just told open brain. Wondering what to expect as it grows, my other "brain" is massive and has several mouths and several folds.

Scoly coral.

Scoly coral.

I wondered if that was the case but I've never had one so I wasn't sure about texture, etc. If so I got a good deal.

It looks very healthy too.

Looks to be a scolymia vitiensis.

I think it's a trachyphyllia radiata--that's a common color for that brain. Usually see them in this green along with a red/green combo. Looks healthy too.

Looks like trachyphillia geoffroyi

Looks like trachyphillia geoffroyi

Is there a difference between radiata and geoffroyi? I've looked both up and they seem to be the same. Is one an older name vs current? I look at Live Aquaria and they list it as "radiata" while other sites list "geoffrroyi"...so confusing!

The skelton/Growth shape are different. Here's our radiata. The geoffroyi will typically stay round.

I agree with the Trachyphyllia ID. Here’s some info on the whole geoffroyi/radiata confusion:
