my lfs has some torches for $50 a frag ranging from 1-3 heads and green and purple.
I’ve seen reg indo torches for double the price that only had 1 head
 
I'd say the others are short tentacle. My lfs had one for 70 but I bet it wasn't a long torch.

It wasn’t a cristata . It was a reg torch “long tentacle”
 
If it was me and it was a going for 50 I'd snatch one for sure.
 
They have about 10 frags
 
You take any pics for us here so we can observe?
 
No . I’ll be back on Monday
 
Okay well since no one has answered the actual question. Indo torches have thinner longer tentacles while Aussies have thicker shorter ones. Cristata are normally called "Grape Corals."
 
I’m not asking about the price difference. Just wondering what’s the difference between the two torches.

Yeah I know, that's why I gave you my answer above. Most of the people just care about selling the torches at outrageous prices cuz of the Indo ban. So his answer was more geared towards the money difference than physical.
