Welsoni or Welsophyllia !!! ID needed ??

[lsingh]

Have a friend whose selling this and would like to know if this is Wilsoni or not !!!! It does look like a welsophylia to me but would like an expert advice

 

[Blue Seas Aquariums]

Its a Symphyllia Coral. Very nice piece!

 

[steelheader.262]

Definitely not a Wellsophyllia, agree with BlueSeas.

 

[lsingh]

But not Wilsoni right ???

 

[Blue Seas Aquariums]

Its not a Wilsoni... Its a Symphyllia for sure.

Maybe I'm mistaken but didn't they do away with either welsoni or welsophyllia and just combined them?

Wellsophyllia is now non-existant; Trachyphyllia geoffroyi is all such things.


Where things get a bit confusing here, is the other coral being question is wilsoni, which is a Symphyllia species. Symphyllia wilsoni

But that's not the coral pictured. It's a Symphyllia, but not wilsoni. I'm thinking Symphyllia recta, but it might be Symphyllia agaricia.
