That's what I was leaning towards I know it's a brain and they no longer use the term wellso, but my lobo is bumpy and more round with alot less waves

Actually wellso is back....they realized they goofed. Still hard to tell the difference without looking at the skeleton. I'll see if I can find the links to the return of the wellso.
EDIT TO ADD:
I can not find the references that I was looking for explaining the change back to Wellsophyllia. I did find a Reefbuilders reference briefly mentioned HERE, but the video directly below the wellso info simply states they are the same??? Here's the actual verbiage:
After much back and forth, it seems that Wellsophyllia radiata is now formally recognized as a distinct genus and species again. The tissues of both Trachyphyllia and Wellsophylliai are very similar, but they can be distingushed based on their shape and skeletal features.
Also looking at WoRMS (World Register of Marine Species), Wellsophyllia is still not accepted.
I'm posting over on R2R to see if the original comment about Wellsophyllia being back can be documented.

Good to know. And when u say looking at Skelton I would assume it would have to be deflated.
That is a lobo
Not enought meat for a wellso its a lobo I have them at the shop just like it
Well I am sticking with lobo
I would say lobo...
Let's make it simple.....it looks like an open brain to me! 
Even simpler - its a coral
Whoever posted the poll, you left out Wellsophyllia!
Here's the guy I have where I was told it was a Wellsophyllia.
Well I'll send a pic of my lobo later when my lights turn on, they look completely different. I will add the the poll later too. It is definitely under stress it looked even worse at the lfs. It is slowly looking better in my tank.
That is one beautiful and big wellso Paul.
