Galaxea? would need a better photo, possibly under whites, to tell

Looks like a torch, but we are going to need photos under white lights to better verify

From what’s visible in the photo, this looks much more like a Duncan than a torch.
At that size/stage, a torch would usually show a clearly visible, rough white skeleton at the top of the head, with the flesh pulling back a bit and distinct longer tentacles. That exposed skeleton is one of the easiest tells — and it’s not visible here.
Duncans, on the other hand, tend to stay fully fleshed over the skeleton, with shorter, more uniform tentacles and a softer look like what you’re showing. The growth form and lack of exposed skeleton point strongly in that direction.

So based on what we can see so far, Duncan is the more likely ID.

Torch coral

If I had to choose torch. Duncan head structure looks more like a star when fully opened. And doesn’t have glowing tips

Galaxea, not torch. Note how the corallite structure is fasciculate and not phaceloid.
