Fuzzy lobo

[HereFishyFishy3]

Does anyone know if this is considered a fuzzy lobo? I ordered it from Liveaquaria, but it does not look anything like the picture/description. In the pictures it’s behind my Kenya tree, thanks in advance!

Looks like one, just give it some more time to open.
Definitely a lot more polyps than my classic devils hand.

Thanks! I will give it some more time to settle. How far will the polyps extend out?

I wouldn’t expect them to extend much farther than they are now. Maybe about half a centimeter at their longest. Not like toadstools with really long polyps.

Good to know, kinda disappointed because this was the representative picture. I know that it’s not an exact lookalike, but I don’t see much similarity

Vendors will usually show the best example of the coral or fish to sell better. Only wysiwyg will show the exact one. What you get rarely looks as perfect as the one pictured. What matters is that you like it!
Leathers change a lot over time as they grow and develop. My devil didn’t even have polyps for a long time. It is certainly possible that that is the end result.

This looks like stylopora

That’s true and my mistake. I’m not sure how much I like it right now, it looks too similar to my Kenya tree. Hopefully it will begin to look better soon!

Looks like stylo OR Pocillopora but could be Lobophytum

Yeah I’m relatively new to different varieties of soft corals, and the coral I received and the coral pictured don’t look very similar. Just figured I’d check!

How did this all turn out bro? I was looking at the same coral.
