I rescued this from a local shop for $40, it was listed as a Lobo. When I got it, it looked like a white version of Sauron's helmet- spikey skelton sticking out everywhere and almost no flesh or color. 3 weeks later and it looks like what's below. No photo editing done on these. With the colors that are showing up now, it looks like it's going to be quite the piece, whatever it is.

I'd say lobo, trachys don't have a skeleton like that

Also would love to see a before and after photo of when you first got it!
 
Unfortunately, I totally forgot to take a picture of it until this week, which is 3 weeks after purchase. But I'll definitely be keeping track of it from here on out 1x/month when I take pics for a growout contest. I haven't seen any "show off your lobo" threads, do you know of any?

I wanna say trachy, as lobos don't have a splatter color-morph like that, but I'm not sure
 
Skeleton matches with connected polyp lobophyllia (formerly symphyllia, not wilsoni)
