Looks more like a frogspawn than an octospawn... you can see on the octospawn it has bulbs coming off each arm, where as all of your bulbs are attached to its own arm. Here is my gold octopus vs my green frogspawn

Top one is Euphyllia Paraancora, branch hammer. Bottom is an octospawn, looks like Euphyllia yaeyamaensis

I can assure you that's a green frogspawn and not a hammer..

This pic is of my green frogspawn, gold octopus, pink tip green torch, pink hammer, and pink tip green hammer.

The species of the top one appears to be Euphyllia Paraancora, it's beautiful but really doesn't look like a frogspawn. Some of the tentacles show branchlets coming off of them, not all but some, and they're elongated not round. Was just clarifying and didn't meant to hijack this post I apologize.

I again assure you, it's def a frogspawn

(I used to have a green hammer where I currently have my octopus as shown below)
