So I bought this "Scoly" a few weeks ago. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160816/76f47992ba5fe3d8cf79b02015a3e952.jpg


It looks much more orange in person but it really looks like a lobo to me. So far it still hasn't inflated any more then this. Actually about 5 inches behind it is a purple and red lobo and inflates more. It this a different type of LPS? I different type of Scoly? Or is it just not happy and I need to move it or figure out something else?

What do you think? It is in medium flow and on the sand. Obviously I am dealing with a bit of Cyano and working on fixing it. I am overfeeding a bit trying to get a few fish to look healthier. :debi:

this is a close one. I have a few lobos and scolys so I will do my best to give an opinion. I feel like it looks more like a scoly, the mouth on it looks more like the scoly to me but it is difficult to tell. Doesn't seem to have the normal scoly color in the pic but it could just be the pic. If I had to say though I would say its a scoly.

OK, good because I paid to much for a lobo:)

Now should it "puff" up more or is this what it is going to look like? Should I pull it out of the sand more? Maybe attach it to a rock?

Possibly Scolymia vitiensis.
