Hello everyone i just got this coral from a guy that was leaving the hobby. he doesnt remember the name of it ,but he thinks this is a lobophyllia coral he is not sure. if anybody can please confirm me if this is a lobophillia brain coral or not? another thing look inside the big head and you can see how it is deteriorating inside. is this normal or is it under stress this coral or is it just dying? thanks in advance

I would put it in a low light and low flow spot. It needs to heal and low light/flow is better.

Try feeding it something, preferably some small pellet or something that wont float away and isnt big.
