Possible scoly? Lobo?

My LFS did not have this labeled. I thought is was different and it was a cheap purchase. Started with 4 spots 2 months ago now it has six! Any ideas??

looks like a mix between a Wellsophyllia and a Meat Scoly.

 

[Arubix]

How much was it?

 

[breaknrun911]

Well my LFS charges roughly 3x more in livestock than what they got it for. I paid 49.98

Don't think scoly or lobo. I saw one site advertise what they called a platting lobo. To me the platting lobo just looked like a rhotondoflora. Yours to me looks like it could be something along that line in the acan family.

I'm thinking some kind of welso or brain type coral.

Hard to tell from pic. Pic looks like prism favia frag.

 

[mainereefer]

I would guess goniastrea or maybe just maybe a type of symphyllia

 

[Sdoutreefer]

Looks like some sort of favia to me.

favia is a general term misused by 90% of the hobby. favia basically means closed brain coral, so what species are you referring to?

 

[Sdoutreefer]

Favia to me is a prism brain.

 

[Fatmike92]

Torch coral :tongue1:

 

[mainereefer]

Favia to me is a prism brain.

lol

prizm brain is goniastrea not favia

 

[Sdoutreefer]

lol

prizm brain is goniastrea not favia

Ok I must be confused then. Favia as in dragons soul favia. Thought they were the same.

 

[mainereefer]

:doh: dragon soul favia is not favia its goniastrea....

 

[Sdoutreefer]

:doh: dragon soul favia is not favia its goniastrea....

Lol then why is favia in its name?? Then I take my previous statement back. It's a goniastrea

 

[Tab28]

:doh: dragon soul favia is not favia its goniastrea....

I always thought they looked very similar but i considered dragon soul aka prism favia a true favia. I thought goniastrea had more raised ridged around the mouth. To me they looked like a pineapple. You could always see ridges most favias were more fleshy.

 

[evolved]

I'm thinking a mycedium species.
