Coral ID

[Bluefalcon2017]

Not a hitch hiker, but I just picked up this coral from my LFS and they didn't have the name of it. In the tank, it looked like a torch coral, but once I got home, it closed up and I'm pretty sure it ain't a torch.

It is inside a rock/clam looking thing but opens up like a torch. Please help me I'd.

BTW it was only $150 and this thing is massive

Edit: second look, I think frogspawn not a torch

It looks like a frogspawn to me… but let’s hear from others

Ah I think you’re right. Hard to tell but looks like multiple tips on the tentacles which would be frogspawn.

There are multiple tips. However there are no branches on the base.

I thought frogspawn had heads like hammers.

There are a wall variety I believe

usually individual head but i think wall frogspawns come in from australia once in a while. i think shorter tentacles usually though

Yes thank you all for your help. Learned it's a WALL frogspawn.

After you tubing, also learned it's tough to frag. But it'd all good
