Mystery Euphillyia ID

[tinoracha]

Got this coral a few weeks ago from the LFS. Has the body of a euphillyia but tentacles I've never seen before. Pictures are fully extended.
Think I payed ~$40.

Looks similar to some of those fat tentacle aussie torches

Torch coral, it's just a bit closed up right now. give it some time, it should open up.

It may be a type of torch coral. There is a very short tentacle torch variant, i just cant remember the name of it.

Some sort of Cristata (similar to a torch but shorter)

 

[Mr_Knightley]

oh never mind, you've had it for that long? I guess it could be one of the aussies @Acroporakiller mentioned. It could also be a cristata torch, if you see visible skeleton that may be the case.

The small tentacle tips puzzle me the most, it seems most of the short tentacle aussies have these fat cylindrical tentacles. In contrast mine has small yellow ish tips that tapper to a point... still curious....

Hi, it appears to be a Cristata. Looks very similar to a TSA Green Tipped Cristata. :)
Same genus as a Torch coral but generally found deeper than standard torches.

Tentacle length resembles cristata.
Tips look wrong though.
The tips on mine are much more bulbous.
I remember seeing a "micronesian" torch somewhere that resembled that shape. Liveaquaria maybe?

Just my nooby $.02;)
