Just picked up this really nice coral at lfs. At first I thought it was a acanthophyllia or meat coral but now Idk if it’s a scoly. First coral of either type. They all look so similar and some bigger pieces next to it looked like meat coral but idk. Lmk what you think thanks guys.

I didn’t think it was a trachy at first but maybe? The ones nearby looked like this which is meat coral so not entirely sure. I know they all are so similar and same requirements but would be nice to know

I agree, looks like a trachy. Here's a link with food information

 
Now that it has expanded more I agree it’s a Trachy. Updated pic below.
