Need the experts for ID confirmation/opinions

[Nem4]

I came across a family that wanted to get rid of their whole setup. They had some nice peices/colonies, but it was neglected and on the decline. Luckily I got to them in time and everything is recovering nicely.
I need an ID on this guy. I feel like it's just a lobo. My knowledgeable LFS thinks it's a meat coral. Because of the skeletal structure, however, he has never seen or heard one with multiple heads. What do y'all think? Any traits I should look for?

First pic is current
2nd is day one of recovery

Thanks

It's a lobo.

It's a lobo.

Definitely. Thanks! I didn't realize how much it's already colored up since I got it. That pic you have is very nice. Thanks again

Lobophyllia hemprichii

Indeed not an Acanthophyllia. I'm actually leaning more towards L. serratus, but could also be L. hemprichii.

Agreed L. serratus is also very likely.

Great. When I look up serattus, everything says rare, endangered. It also shows each polyp with a white edge. Do y'all know of a definitive characteristic trait between the sub species?

That's why I was leaning towards hemprichii. It tends to be the more common of the two.

If remember right, the difference is in the coralite so it will be hard to tell unless it dies

I found coralite pictures of both.

The second coralite is serattus. The last picture is of it feeding this morning. I still can't tell the difference. Interesting non the less. Thank y'all for the help!

What we mean is without seeing the corallites of the one you have it's not 100%, which is why he mentioned unless it dies we won't see them. It's more likely that it's L. hemprichii, as the other isn't (isn't supposed to be) imported as often.
