name of this coral ?

[Danielfern_]

Hey i’m not really sure what type of coral this is because it has Trachy colors but it is like a donut
Also I don’t want to keep it as doesn’t fit with the aesthetic of the tank lmk

Looks a little scoot but not really...

That’s why I am saying lol
How do you know if it’s Scully or a trachy

 

[Rostato]

Really hard to say with 100% certainty but looks like a scoly to me

 

[Wlachnit]

I say Scoly as well.

I'm not an expert on these types, but Trachyphyllia tend to be fleshier and fluffier, and when inflated are less radial (perfectly circular).

Can you post a picture in white light so we can see the colors? But from shape, it looks like a Scolymia.

If you’re getting rid of it I’m always interested in mystery corals. In SF.

This is one of the problems with tapatalk. You can’t see that you are trying to buy from a guest. I really suggest switching to using the website. Then you would see

Looks a little like acanthophylia too

Haha...yeah it does, doesn't it. Very different close up to what I was thinking.

 

[Rostato]

I’m still saying Scoly, but I wouldn’t rule out acantho as well

It’s a beauty! Just FYI since it isn’t always obvious, you need to be a supporting member of BAR to sell things on our site. Once you are, you’ll see the Buy/Sell/Trade forum, be able to borrow gear, and other perks like frequent free coral offerings, frag swaps, and other events when we start doing more of them again.

I mention it because I would imagine you weren’t intending to just get expert advice here and then sell it elsewhere.

We need to disable Tapatalk. I’m gonna keep saying it until we do it

It's 100% a scoly. If it were a acanto or indophyllia, you would see concentric rings /ridges.

That's the first thing I thought when I saw this post.

Can you explain the concentric rings/ridges part? Maybe some pictures to illustrate would help.

Not at all disagreeing, but how can you tell?
