Can someone confirm the identity of this LPS? I got it from a lfs who had it for a while, watching it slowly shrink and could not remember what it was.

The picture is not great. The exposed skeleton is very spikey.

Thanks for any help.

Looks like a scolymia in a pretty bad shape.

Yeah, condition was not great but the price was right. I couldn't tell if it was a Scoly a Lobo of some variety.

Condition has improved in the past 48 hours and i expect to see a full come back.

It could be a Lobophyllia or a Scolymia vitensis, kind of hard to tell from that angle though.

We'll see what it looks like after it colors up and fills in.
