Looks like cristata to me

Sort of looks like an aussie gold torch with it's tentacles retracted. Is that as far as the tentacles extend?

Yea I've had it for about 36 hrs and haven't seen it extend much more. I was thinking the same thing. However my dragon soul right behind it is fully extended..

I believe cristata have a unique skeleton structure you can see when the polyps are retracted.
