I am unsure but it does look like a torch to me. If it is a torch, then I would say it is a highliter torch. Can y ok get a close up picture on one of its tentacles by itself or slightly isolated?

cristata possibly
...or it could just be a slightly retracted torch

not Frogspawn, frogspawns have multiple acrospheres on each tentacle, while this coral has only one per tentacle

Euphyllia glabrescens, torch coral

Agree to disagree :) I’m sticking with torch coral

Ok my bad looked like a long tentacle galaxea but the skeleton shape rules that out

 

[soreefed]

well looking deeper i think its possible it could be galaxea of some variant. maybe galaxea fascicularis.

Galaxea fascicularis is commonly referred to as Crystal Coral, Galaxy Coral . Difficulty in the aquarium: Average. A aquarium size of at least 200 Liter is recommended. Toxicity: Toxic hazard unknown.

Theres all sorts of galaxea and some are long tentacle that can look very similar to a torch. the coral in the picture is fairly tall though.

Galaxea horrescens which is branching but not sure what that looks like outside of this one frag.
