Lfs says its a scoly?

[rufus2008]

What do you think? Any images I look at of scoly's don't look like this. Maybe a lobo?

 

[Shep]

For sure not a scolly, maybe a lobo

 

[Flashy Fins]

Not a scoly. Looks like symphyllia. Easy coral with similar care requirements.

 

[kschweer]

I would say not a scoly. Possibly a lobo or a symphyllia.

 

[rufus2008]

I've got it quite high in my tank under evergrow d120's should I lower it if it is a lobo?

 

[adam87]

That's a lobo, I have the same one in my tank.

 

[rufus2008]

That's a lobo, I have the same one in my tank.

Do you have it high or low in your tank?

Lobophyllia robusta!

 

[FL_Reefer]

IMO, that is not a lobo, if it were, it would form individual heads. Symphyllia on the other hand will stay ''open'' like the one you have. Keep it lower in the tank or on the sand with low-mid flow

 

[KJ]

Lobophyllia robusta.

Lobo for the win

The distinguishing characteristic between Lobophyllia and Symphyllia all comes down to skeleton structure. The corallites on a Lobophyllia have separate walls, whereas a Symphyllia's corallites have shared walls.

That being said, it's a Symphyllia.

Symphyllia radians
