    lmao, i thought you were the one asking what it was, my bad. dont look at the heads, look at the branches on the heads. if they split then its not a torch.

    ROFLMAO!!! But I'm also argumentative...it's the woman in me!!!

    The reason I'm asking is when it's deflated at night (like it is now) I can see that it looks like a frogspawn (tips are way bigger than the tentacles) but it doesn't look like the other frogspawn that I had before.

    It eats like a pig and grows like a weed, I know that much!

    I'm voting torch, I don't know about torch corals, but frogspawns don't normally contract at night.

    Well, I've got 2 frogspawns and they don't look at all alike. However, they do, both, contract at night. One of them looks very much like yours but with different colouring.

    My vote is a frogspawn!

    I don't think those are branches as in a frogspawn's branches, but just branching off of the head. My frogspawn has multiple polyps on each tentacle, in the pictures, there is only one polyp on each tentacle. I know that there are different color variations, but from these pictures, it looks like the colors are those of a torch, not a frogspawn
