Got this from a lfs, they said they didn't really know what it was, but suspected some type of hybrid torch. The polyps are pretty small, opens to <1 centimeter so far, (only been in tank for 2 days). It had just arrived at the lfs the morning I got it, so they weren't extended very well then either. It's slowly coming further out. Polyps are bright yellow with blue tips under blues. I'm no photographer, and only have my note 9 camera to go off of, even in pro mode I can't get a good enough pic of the colors under blues.

Just trying to figure out if it is a hybrid of sorts or just a torch with fancy colors that hasn't fully extended yet.

TIA
Btw it's the 2 head on the right

After checking into the cristata, I've seen some differences that maybe you could help with...
1. The base seems really long compared to the ones I can see online???
2. The polyps on mine are fairly thin. It may just be young heads, but I the cristata seem to have pretty wide aussie like polyps. Are there different varieties of them?
