Is this a scoly????????

[rlman41299]

I would like to get a confirmation from LPS experts if this is a scoly that I acquired? the color in the pic turned into yellow green color but the actual color is golden yellow. picture was taken with an iphone so it doesn't show the real color.

Cool, thanks!!!! anybody would know what is the value of these these corals? not that I paid an arm and a leg for this but I got it for free from a friend who thought it was a lobo. lol this is about 3" in diameter if it helps. thanks

You'll have to search online for a price, price fishing isn't allowed here on R2R. I'd say for free, you got a heck of a deal!

I understand. not trying to get a price so I can sell it but feeling guilty for having it for free and not knowing that it could cost an arm and a leg. did some research and some online vendors sell it for a decent price.
