Definitely not a scoly. I think open brains are Lobophyllias and if it is that than it acts totally different than the other 2 Lobos I have. The Lobos I have have feeder tentacles that are maybe 1/8" long and rarely out, this coral has feeder tentacles that are 1" and out all the time begging for food.

Actually open brain refers to quite a few different species including lobos but not exclusively.

Trachyphyllia?

Im going with Trachy as well after looking at pics and others posts. They (at least the one I have) are one of the best eaters, always hungry when lights are on and eats big chunks of clam, ect.

Need a daylight pic and a view of the base. Lobos will have noticeable pronounced radial teeth, whereas trachys and others not so much. As others mentioned, "open brains" cover many species.
