I got a new torch yesterday. It’s four heads. Anyone have any guess on whether it’s Indo or Aussie? The large colony that it came off of has been in the hobby for at least 3 years...

Does it look like this?

Kinda...I’ll try to take some better pictures when I get home if it’s opened up. It’s definitely not exactly like that
 
What did you guys look for in specific when trying to determine the origin of a torch coral? I know the Indonesian ones generally have longer tentacles but other than that don’t really know, and I have seen some Australian ones with quite long tentacles...
 
Thickness of the tentacles is usually a giveaway. Indo has much thinner tentacles than aussie from what I've seen
