First I would like to see who can identify this coral. Also explain why it is doing what it is. It is healthy no pests have had the coral about a year.

Tank par
ATI 8 bulb lights
Alk 9.38
Cal 414
Mag 1303
Salinity 35ppm

Looks like a torch corral. Is it growing out of a hard base or soft? If hard then I'd say torch, if soft then maybe an anemone? Not sure why it's doing that. What are the rest of the main parameters? (phosphates, nitrates, ammonia, etc.)

Beautiful group of Tangs btw!
