This Euphyllia was sold to me as a Torch coral but I found it odd how short stubby the tentacles were.

After some searching I came up with grape coral or Euphyllia Cristata which looks much more like what I have.

It seems to like it’s placement and flow but it does open with longer tentacles when lights are out, assuming this is it’s feeding response.

It looks like an Aussie torch to me
 
I’m leaning toward cristata. My cristata vs my torch.
