Help to identify this coral

I would have though another duncan. Just slightly different than the other you have. Although the tenticles are not what I would expect on a duncan. The four tiny heads make me think not a torch, but not sure. Maybe pictures of it in white light and of the base.

It looks more like another morph of Duncan to me. Doesn't quite look like a torch - superficially it's similar to a cristata torch, but in my experience cristatas tend to have a more full head of... tentacles, whereas the coral in question has a large 'bald spot' around the mouth.
Here's my cristata, with the head fully covered in tentacles.
And here's a Duncan in the "stubby tentacle" form. Notice the flat center, without tentacles. Note that while these corals usually have longer, more tapered tentacles (almost aiptasia-like), they sometimes appear short and stubby, like a cristata's tentacles.
We'd really need better pictures from the OP to say for sure though.

I would stick with my thought of duncan too. I have seen them appear quite different. E. cristata was a close call, but I agree with Biokabe.

My clove polyps like less flow, moderate to low light, and slightly dirty water (I keep my nitrates 2-5.) mine took about 2 days to fully open up, but they were shipped. I’d just give them time!
