Trachy or Lobo

[gclackum]

I got this piece a little while ago. Thought it was a Trachy but was looking at a friends reef and his Trachy has grown into a sphere. Will this one do the same or is it a lobo or maybe two different types of Trachy.

Definitely a Trachy, not a Lobo.

With enough time and excellent care, many corals, including this one, will likely grow into hemispherical shapes. However, it will take a good while before this guy gets there.
