Id this torch?

[Nommarune]

Hey picked this up at my lfs (2 torches for 60 bucks) wasnt passing this up one is pink tentacles with pastel almost white tentacles but I cant get a clean color pic of it and then I got this one. The green base caught my eye.
Tentacles are like a dark blue and the tips a light bluish

Not every torch has a fancy name.

Nope I'm aware that's why I'm not really worried about the other one. But the neon green mouth on that one makes me think it might. So I wanted to check.

Yea the green mouth is extra nice

Cristatas are torches, just a different sub species of euphyllia

After looking at cristata the one with the green mouth is not one. The skeletal structure doesnt match a cristata I dont think. Now the other might be

Yeah I was just reading that never heard of cristata so I had to research a bit.

 

[Nommarune]

After a few days they ate fully open but do not have the long tentacles so must be e. Cristata. Odd because only one has that skeleton structure. Still very happy with the prices (:

If you can, take a picture of the coral sleeping at night. It could be an aussie torch which is a fat headed short tentacle as well.

I believe the defining characteristic of Euphyllia cristata is the skeletal ridges on the mouth area.
