Its either a Trachyphyllia or a Wellsophyllia. I think there were some Taxonomic changes with these a while ago but cant remember exactly what at the moment

Agreed- definitely Trachyphyllia.

The change proposed was that Wellsophyllia radiata was a synonym of Trachyphyllia geoffroyi, with Trachyphyllia being suggested as the official name.
