Lps coral ID

Hellybell80 · Feb 1, 2020

Hi I've been to my LFS today, the normal assistant wasnt in today. Shes Super helpful in identifying the corals in what I want to buy next.
I've picked up 4 corals today. I believe they are favia, Lobos and maybe a trachyphyillia along these lines anyway.
Can anyone help with an ID?
Just so I can it right with placement in the tank.

White light pics would help with better identification

Some white light pics. I agree with the acan call. It wasnt out properly in the LFS. I have an acan already, but do love the colours on the new one. Even my tuxedo is having a look lol.
So looking at the suggestions so far. Its lower placement in the tank?

I have one more question. I was sold this coral as an accupora. It was a rehome. It had been bleached (still a little white on bottom) but then had browned out. Even comes with it's own hosted crab.
Within two days its tips are turning a green its still brown, as I think it went from too much light to maybe too little. Its towards the top of my tank. 2/3rds up. But now I've seen it actually shrink down as in height... the arms are definitely a little smaller. I've been taking regular pictures for reference on the original bleaching to see if it's getting better or worse.
From what I have read accupora dont shrink.... any ideas what it may be?
