Cristata?

They look like Cristata torches or branching hammers. Do the tentacles extend any further?

Looks very much like what's shown in this reef builders:

In the recent day, writing about Euphyllia and Fimbriaphyllia, a sudden question struck us, what about Euphyllia cristata, is it Fimbriaphyllia or Euphyllia? We always wanted to write about this coral…

That's the extent of the tentacle extension. It was sold to me as a pink hammer, but I'm not sure it's either pink nor hammer.

I can see where the mix up might be, I'm leaning more towards cristata the longer I stare... I typically think of hammers as having less of a round tip and more "hammer" like lol... all kidding aside I think of a branching hammer to look like this:

Yes I’m thinking cristata

Can you see the ‘ridged’ skeleton structure between the polyps? I believe that is a signature for being a cristata.

If you really want a hammer, frag the heads of that cristata, sell them and buy that pink hammer

Skeleton is hard to see but I think its there.
