Hi everyone. Got this coral from my LFS. They said it’s a lobo. Was wondering if that’s correct and perhaps what scientific name. It’s large. Prob the size of a hand.

Coral under blue lights when purchased. Coral under white lights next to a large urchin for size reference

Lobo, adn this is a perfect example of why we like blue lights. That's a crazy difference!

It still looks super cool in white. But I agree that blue is insane. I thought for sure it was photo shopped when he sent me the pic lol
