I picked up this one at a LFS. They first thought it was a torch. Then it expanded. They never saw one like this. It can get long tentacles like a torch but way to fat. It also has some little dots tips like frogspawn but on a few tentacles. Some of the tentacles are fat have thin portion them a bulbous top portion as you can see on top left tentacle at about 9o'clock

. It seems each tentacle looks different and changes the way it looks

It's a torch. Mine will do the same from time to time when the current stops. Is yours under very low current?

No it is under medium to high. It looks this way 24/7. The tentacles will look more odd shaped. I have torch, frogspawn and hammer. The LFS described it as bubble torch. To me it looks like torch meets frogspawn and even though not same family bubble.

They said it cane from a customers tank. They fragged the colony thinking it was torch, until it opened. Then slapped on a higher price I am sure.
