Just wondering what the name of this torch is, bought it from my LFS and forgot to ask the name. Put it next to my blue tip torch and it’s opening nicely, I honestly thought it was a hammer at first at the store. Some of the polyps split and have 2 heads to give it a hammer look

Feel like I got a pretty good deal for $70. They thought it only had 2 heads

It's a frammer.
No I think Paradox was right, I’ve read more about Cristatas and it has an exposed skeleton just like them. The tentacles also seem to thin to be a hammer/frogspawn. It didn’t play nice with my blue tip torch either, woke up this morning to my torch looking like it took a nice sting from a sweeper

Here’s an updated pic of it more opened, looks like it has 2 new heads growing underneath of it as well? That’s crazy
