looks more like a scoly than a welso but i could be wrong. can you get a pic from top.
have you acclimated it to your lights?
how are the parameters?

I did not acclimate to light because right now Im using some cheap light that were coming with the tank I bought (this is coral/invert QT). But I ordered a new LED light more suitable for this QT coral tank.

My water parameters :

SG : 1.027 (was 1.026 when I added them), I just have top off a little and bring it to 1.026.
MG : 1440
CA : 500
KH : 9.75
Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate : 0

Yes it looks similar with mine I think, here the Chinese call it Eight-character Brain Coral.
