I think it is a doughnut/wellso?

Looks like a wellsophyllia to me. It may like it better down on the sand.

It was moved to the bed

Depends on wich taxonomist you reference, here's the most widely accepted I.D. :
Trachyphllia geoffroyi (http://whelk.aims.gov.au/coralsearch/html/301-400/Species%20pages/350.htm)

IIRC Eric Borneman was saying the "powers that be" came to the consensus that the only difference between a Trachyphyllia and a Wesophyllia was where they were found and how they were found. The distinction for a while was that one had multiple meandering coralites and was found to be "free living" generally deeper and on the sandbed while the other was found encrusted to substrate. They assessed it to be either through fragmentation or sexual reproduction that caused one to be "free living" while the other was not otherwise identical.

Justin is correct. The scientists all lump what was called Wellsophyllia in with Trachyphyllia now. I knew that, old habits die hard I guess. With so many genus looking so similar, not to mention species identification being almost impossible on a great many corals for the aquarist, we dont need two names for the same thing. Or we could just go the route of calling everything a brain coral!
