Caribbean torch coral, or did my torches spawn?

A while back I discovered two heads of this coral attached to Florida live rock. I did have three different torches in the tub as well, but none were close to where I found these heads and none have the same coloration. I've tried looking to see if there is a Caribbean coral that looks similar to a torch, but have had no luck. Seems to me that either my torches spawned and these two are the only survivors, or there's a Caribbean coral that looks like a torch but isn't listed anywhere that I've looked. They're open day and night, I don't feed them so they must be photosynthetic, when they're closed up the skeleton looks similar to a euphyllia, and they are still small but definitely growing.

Thoughts? Has any had torches spawn in the aquarium and survive or does anyone recognize these as a Caribbean coral?
