Lobo ID

What kind of lobo is this, I got it as a frag, also tried feeding it brine but didn’t seem to have its tentacles come out to eat it, any help or ID would be great thanks!

Looks like an Acanthastrea pachysepta, not a lobo.

Acanthastrea pachysepta has strong affinities to Lobophyllia and was formerly classified as one, so I wouldn't blame them for misidentifying it.
