Hi, was wondering if anyone can id what lps coral this is. I bought it just purely out of liking its look and the seller sold it as a generic “open brain”. Its been with me for two months. Its a little less inflated then it usually is as the lights were already out for a few hours since its night here.

I’m leaning more towards Trachyphyllia because of the radiating ridges/lines
 
Just thought I’d share how it is doing. Its pretty much lost most of its outer ring greens but its extremely fluffy.

I'd say definitely no to lobo per flesh texture, also leaning away from A. Pachysepta as they have a more bubbly tissue. I'd say trachyphyllia is a possibility/likely. Honestly when I first saw it, it reminded me of certain aussie scolys

But I don't think that's it. @encrustingacro?
