A Trachyphyllia is usually a single mouth and the whole body grows. A Lobophyllia will sprout new mouths as it grows and can be fragged. What is similar is the thick walls in the folds and edges, from what I have seen anyway.

It was still there last I checked. I am on a personal challenge right now to NOT put my hands in the tank for a week. Must resist, must resist! I do have a grabber though...

Hey guys, trachy's not doing so good. Params are all good, and other than a accidental over alkaline environment for a day there haven't been any changes. He was having issues prior to the alkalinity thing. I'm attaching an updated pic. Anyone have any ideas or point me in the right direction?Tank is almost a year old, got this guy a couple months ago, and he's been growing like mad.

My Aquariums Going Again
I have a hard time keeping mine happy. Water changes usualy picks things up, now Im guessing that high phosphates and low nitrates is my problem.....@najer what do you thinkHey guys, trachy's not doing so good.

It still looks full, just a little less colorful. Try and keep your parameters stable and maybe shade it a bit until it recovers. Also remember, LPS are hungry hungry corals. Feed them, and feed them often. Meaty foods twice a week.Hey guys, trachy's not doing so good.

A good way to appetize them is to dust them with some soaked reef roids, or reef chili, or any dried coral food. Just soak it for a bit then use a pipette or turkey baster to gently spray the coral with the food. It should extend feeder tentacles, then you can follow up with some mysis, or other frozen fish food like LRS or Rod's...
I've also made a really thick paste with reef roids and used a syringe to squirt it directly onto the coral's mouth. Looks like soft serve ice cream coming out of the machine. Be gentle squirting, a sharp blast will make the coral close up and it wont eat.
