That came from a friend in Cali. He purchased it from a LFS.

Last time I posted this someone got mad at me and said that I was being rude. I just want to say ahead of time I am not being rude. I am just trying to clear things up. So here I go.
There is no such thing as Welso. It is a Trach. Welso is an old name that scientists got rid of a long time ago.

I didn't know about the name change until after I posted. I started looking for more info and realized that'd reclassified it....pretty common in science. I bought the coral online and they marketed it as a wellso, I assumed they knew what they were talking about.
But you'll notice people still knew what I was talking about

Yeah I wish the vendors would stop calling them that. It used to be reserved for the more folded versions of Trachs. They thought that was what the difference was. Now they just use it to sell more corals. People think they are getting something special when they are only getting a more mature Trach.

but i think there are 2 species of trachys now ?the regular one is trachyphillia geoffroyi and the one thats always called a wellso is trachyphyllia radiata i could be wrong but i beleive that there are a couple of growth form variations that seperate the 2 apart.i know when i order a wellso and a trachy off my wholesale sheets that there is a obvious diferance beetween the 2 corals besides one of them being bigger than the other imo?not being a know it all just stating what i thaught is or was the case.

I think that even the two trach species were lumped into just the one Trach. geoffroyi. There used to be two species (radiata and geoffroyi) but they are so similar. I think the claim was that geo. was free licing where radi. was attached to rocks by the base.

From what I've read, that's the main question right now. Some claim there's only one species, while others say it's two different species. It seems that most are leaning towards only one species.

some do grow atached to rocks(the ones referd to as wellsos) and the others are solitary growers(to me the typical trachys) the defining feature to me that is differant is that the trachy radiata has a uniform valley in the middle of the coral and the way it is more of a circle than a long skinny coral ?im in no way a expert ijust know that there are or seems to be 2 corals to me?it also may be were they are growing,collected,etc etc etc.but i will say when my list sais wellso and trachy both they are easy to tell apart even for my better half who has only been around corals for 2 to 3 years.they may have been lumped all together but i personally think that there are 2 seperate trachys that we deal with just my 2 pennys.and i would like to thank everyone on this thread for not getting hostile and understanding that as humans we can and will not always think alike and dont have to be rude and hostile when someones thaughts are not the same as ours kudos everyone!!

I second the notion of this being a nice conversation without anger.
It seems to me that the younger Trachs are the ones that don't have much contortion to them. The older they are the more they look like "Welso".
