1.5 months in now on the recovery from my initial $40 rescue purchase. I *think* the browning on the flesh is good, it's getting less transparent but could use confirmation on that from any lobo type peeps here. I've moved it into a cave so it gets more diffused light, somewhere around 80-100 par compared to the direct light it was getting before.

Looking good! I still say lobo, though the PE and coloring up are great signs! Does it have a strong feeding response?

I honestly have no idea what to look for on this thing for a feeding response. I don't see a mouth like I do on my SPS and other LPS

Could it be a Wellsophyllia Radiata?

Just trying to think of others. It looks to fleshy to me to be a lobo.

2.5 months into recovery, pic is taken at the highest PAR time of day so this one tends to look its worst around this time. I moved it under a different outcropping to try and keep the goby from dumping sand on it all day long- it's not visible in the FTS but it's located on the left side of the pic and in the "back."
