    Got this from my mate :) Pretty sure it's a trachy.

    Might be a lobophyllia, too. Hard to tell from the picture.

    Maybe but try to get a better pic. It's hard to tell. Could also be a lobo or one of those giant acans

    Yeah I will try get a better quality pic sometime in the next few days. It's got a diamater of about 2 inches. My next guess that if it wasn't a trachy then it was a lobo because that was the other coral they had in the tank at the store :)

    I'm just going to go out on a fuzzy limb and say it is a lobo :)
