Hi!

I'm just wondering if anyone can help me identify this coral that I recently acquired. I'm struggling to work out what it is! It has just 1 polyp but multiple little mouths...

Looks to be something that can be called an open brain... beyond that I’m stumped.
Maybe a trachy or lobo?
Yeah I was kind of leaning towards a Lobo perhaps too... I'm just confused about the 3 or 4 mouths it has aye...

Anyone else have any ideas?

Could be an early split but I agree the multiple mouths is weird.

Lobos will gain multiple mouths as they grow. They can split, bud off. But not always. It could be a symphyllia brain coral.

Yeah it's really strange! Thanks for the reply too
