Normally I don’t by a coral without doing my research, but got a nice deal at my LFS. They think it’s a lobophyllia. Would this be true? They said to feed it once a week, but don’t see a mouth?

if so, what would be the species? Like to do some additional research on it.

Yeah, lobophyllia.
It appears to be a lobo to me (was also thinking acan bowerbanki but the texture looks different). No clue on specific species
It’s Homophyllia bowerbanki, not Acanthastrea bowerbanki.
