Coral ID is this a lobo?

[ItouchedThebutt]

Just purchased this coral from my lfs and just wanted to double check and make sure this is an actual lobo I bought.

Yeah, it looks like a Lobophyllia to me as well. GL.

Just wanted to check cause the LFS didn’t instill me with a lot of confidence. Weather it’s a lobo, trachy, or acan maxima

If this is a lobo, any idea if you can tell if it’s an Aussie or indo lobo?

Acanthastrea pachysepta

Just wanted to check cause the LFS didn’t instill me with a lot of confidence. Weather it’s a lobo, trachy, or acan maxima

Sclerophyllia maxima (formerly Acanthastrea) is a Western Indian Ocean endemic, so it does not occur in the hobby.
