That is a trachyphyllia radiata or old school welsophyllia radiata. The old school name is similar. If that is yours, it is a beauty.
Are these the same corals being discussed?

No the Symphillia wilsoni is notoriously difficult to keep by most. Trachyphyllia are more easily kept. But even an easy coral for some are difficult for others. I have a trachyphyllia radiata in my sump for about a year now. It must be over 8" in diameter. I love them but unfortunately so does my angel. It was easier to put the coral in the sump than catch the angel.

Day after I brought it home (same as first picture in thread) and today! Frag is trimmed a little, and much happier after a few weeks of all it can eat!
Definitely looking a lot better! It has some neat coloration to it. You snagged it from a local seller?

I'm reviving this thread. My rainbow started to recede. I think it was getting too much flow. I've had it to 3 months. My green wilsoni is much larger and is uneffected. More info on exact care would be great. I love these things!

Are those their normal colors?
I've never kept those corals, but they look very pale to me . . .

I bought one for a friend and he has had much better luck with it being tucked under a rock ledge. Much less light and the color came right back. I know that's not much help, but it's still going strong and looking pretty awesome.

Receding looks like it has stopped. Alk I'm sure was the major factor. Alk dropped very fast in 1 week, to my surprise. Now I'm feeding every other day to try to get positive growth back.
