Got this a few months back and was told it was a 'torch'. It's definitely not simply a torch. Moved it around a few times trying to find the optimal spot. Finally it has found it's home near the bottom of my tank in low flow. Zooming in yesterday, I noticed that many of the tentacles are branching. Does anyone have any info on these and possibly some pictures of a grown colony?

Looks more like an octospawn to me. It’s got some mean sweepers on it!

It gets mean for sure. I used it as a natural weed killer on some palys that we're overtaking a rock. He took them out in a few days.
 
I'm going with euphyllia cristata.
E cristata usually has enlarged septa that protrude from the polyp. I think this is a E. glabrescens x E. divisa hybird; Or just really messed up E. glabrescens
