Looking for an ID on this frag I had delivered today. I bought it as a Cristata but the shape of the tentacles has me thinking hammer. I’m not seeing any of the septa that would indicate Cristata either. Any thoughts?

If you’re after the name, appears to be a Splatter Hammer (Fymbriaphyllia paraancora cf)
