Help IDing Coral

[OsoreShirazu]

Anyone know what this is in the center? its about 6 inches across. Not sure if its a lobo or scoly

Hmm I was leaning almost cynaria due to the “fluffiness” but the shape is not the norm for cynaria. I don’t believe it’s a scoly. Likely a lobo would be my guess.

I'm not much of an SPS person but, I've found Shane^ has always been good at IDing them.

I believe it is Symphyllia agaricia.
Also there has been a reclassification of these corals but that is what most call it still and what most sell it as.

That’s the name I couldn’t think of! I was googling all sorts of things. Knowing it was a “Phyllia”. I’m not good at narrowing down the species but the genus is what I was trying to think of

Recently in Australia, a good friend asked us to check some of his very nice rainbow Symphyllia he’s got. We didn’t recall seeing any in Australia yet, so we were very intrigued.

Oh wow. For sure it's Symphyllia that's spot on. Thank you all so much!
