do you have a pic of the top side as this may not be a lobo coral.We need to see the top of the coral to properly ID, as lobo's grow like a brain coral by this artical. If it is grown with seporate heads then it is iether a candy cane or a trumpet coral.
here is a link to an artical on lobo corals.

sorry about this but by the pic it does not look like any of the lobos I have googled.

That realy looks like it is a candy cane branching coral and that would mean that it is about to propigate a new head. I can be wrong as I do not know everything but when I give info I try and do my resurch.
Anouther link. Gives info on alot of corals.
