Coral ID Help

Hey guys. Came home with a new LPS coral from the LFS about two weeks ago. The coral was sold to me as a torch. After having it in my tank for a couple weeks and seeing it open more and more each day, I'm beginning to think this may be a frogspawn. What are your thoughts?

Looks like an Aussie torch :)

looks like it. I'm no expert though

The differences between them are the frogspawn has multiple branches or dots on each tentacle. Hammer corals have a hammer shape at the end of each tentacle. And torches are simply long tentacles with a rounded end

Yes, this is why I was leaning towards a frogspawn. A few of the tentacles have 3 to 4 tips or dots on them.
