Went to my LFS and picked up 2 corals. One I know is a trachyphyllia or open brain but the other I have no idea. I bought it thinking it was a scoly lol. This LFS doesn't have names or prices listed just alot of wild corals (more like a wearhouse setup) and the owner wasn't in today so the employees didn't know what it was. Got them both for only 65$. Please let me know if anyone knows what it is.

From the pictures, I'd say the first one really does look like a scoly. I would vote lobo on the second one. Regardless, I'd say for the price, you did pretty darned good. Score!

Love the 2nd one.. No idea what it is, but for $65 I think you got away with a nice haul.
Yea the second one I think is a trachyphyllia and it hasn't opened yet its about 3 times the size you see now lol. Just took a time lapse of me feeding it but it still hasn't puffed up yet I'll post pics tommorow if he's open.

Now that you mention it, yeah. It does look kinda like a trachy.
