Here are some pics of mine that I picked up yesterday. Someone correct me if I am wrong it is a "Lobo" aka open brain.

Seems to be more trachyphyllia than lobophyllia IMO

 

[scapes]

definately NOT a lobo pattylucy

 

[Pattylucylaura]

Ok so are Trachaphylia's and Lobophylia's both considered open brains, and if not which one is? I wasn't sure if it was a Lobo or not thats what LFS tank said I know you can't always trust the LFS. I just knew it was a brain wasn't sure what exact type. How do you tell the difference?

 

[scapes]

I just did some google research, and from what I found, Tracyphyllia's and lobophyllia's (which are the scientific names), also go by open brains. so, you did show an open brain, it was just mislabeled.
here's a pic w/ my two lobos...
