Trachyphyllia amazing peice though. That would cost more than your avg scolly. $300+

If that was a scolly lol I expect the price would be $$$$ with all those colors

Acantho or scoly

So I bought this coral 6 months ago as a scoly but based on the texture and the way it spreads out it looks like an Acantho to me. Any insights?

I won't argue you been doing this longer, it looks similar to my trachyphyllia, but a bit more colorful the unique square type pattern I've only seen on trachyphyllia, and if you look closely at the sides it has pinches. Mine mostly lays flat like in picture only has one pinch

I looked it up again and it came to me as a Wellso. I just didn’t think it was. I appreciate the replies

I would’ve said Trachy. My curiosity peaked and I’ve learned that Trachyphyllia and Wellsophyllia are now scientifically considered as the same coral. Aka you can call it one or the other, however, Trachyphyllia is the official name that they have been grouped as and apparently Wellsophyllia is no longer scientifically correct.
