I got this dragon soul torch about a month ago, I noticed there are a few tentacles that are much longer than others and it's stinging the corals close to them, is the torch looking for food or light or it is just aggresive like this?

I don’t know about the food issue, but torches are known for being stinging A’Holes. They hit everything around it and they hit them hard.
 
Those are the torches sweeper tentacles. Not related to food or light
 
Moving the coral away from other ones could help . A lot of the time people use flow to direct the sweeper tentacle away from surrounding coral
