What orange coral is this??

[BlackGoldReefs]

Good evening all. I purchased this coral a few years back and I have not been able to ID this LPS( the orange one in the middle). It’s not an Acan, Bower, or Welso to my knowledge, but I could be wrong. The flesh is thin compared to any of those. I also had well defined separate polyps. I love the coral and me center piece but I would love to know the name or genus. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Looks similar to yours but seems still possibly off. Could just have an unidentified coral. It happens and would be awsome but a unique piece and almost gave me headache lol.

Symphyllia is a junior synonym of Lobphyllia

Thank you Ben. I think you may be correct on the lobo or symphyllia classification. I have asked several reefer friends and LFS and they all had different answers. The link you gave me leads me to believe you are correct. Thanks again.

Coming next week. I can't wait to see what it will look like fluffy and colored up. Hopefully the rainbow of colors pops

Assuming that’s a Lobo it will sting neighbors. Maybe give more space.
very very nice piece.
