This is not a hammer coral, or is it?
The LFS which sold me this coral told me this was a hammer coral, but I dont think it is one  . Please help me identify this coral. Thanks!

Kind hard to tel from the pic, a skeletal view would be good, but the tentacles are more like a torch. Possibly an elegance but hammers and anchor corals have distinctive knobulations at the tip of the tentacles

Hmmmmmmm
I need to send this thread to Cath and Tom. The coral in the pic looks like the unID'd one in Cath's tank that was sold to her as a torch, and definitely wasn't.

My guess would be torch. Here is a picture of the hammer I used to have.
