is this even a Brain?

[G.SMITHII]

i got this lil fella for $7 when it was smaller than a dime about 9 months ago.

now, fully inflated hes like 2.5" across.

i was under the assumption that it was some sort of brain, but i dunno.

the first pic is @ 6am, sunlight only, the later is under 10k PCs

Looks like Scolymia.

That appears to be a single polyp of Lobophyllia. It may develop into a branching colony or the single polyp may develop more mouths and meander into a large Lobo polyp. It would be considered a form of open brain coral, preferring medium light, moderate flow speeds and occasional feeding of meaty food morsels.

scoly or lobo is what it comes down to i think.
