Good Day to everyone ,

Hey Blaxsun ,

thanks for your reply . I think you might be right , i guess i bought it as a lobophyllia . Could it be a Loophyllia Castata ?
 
I would also guess this. Either way it is either a lobo or what until very recently what was considered a lobo. In any case 99% of the time it is sold as a lobo.
One or the other. But, pachysepta is very aggressive, from what I have read. It will eat it's neighbors. I guess lobos do to? A bit inexperienced to say.

I have read that the pachysepta are much more aggressive also. Personally i have never noticed any difference at all and put them right next to and touching other true lobos and never had an issue(and supposedly from what I read they should fight)
