Frogspawn variant or other type of Euphyllia?

[kay-bee19]

I purchased this coral years ago. It was sold as a Euphyllia cristata.

I've since come to the conclusion that it is not an E. cristata, however I'm not exactly sure what it is.

Here are some additional pics of it:

Could it be some variant of frogspawn or perhaps a hybrid?

On most of the tentacles of this euphyllia sp. there is only one 'bulb' at the tip:
(this is how it currently looks, all other pics are from years ago)

This is different from the frogspawn coral that I have in the same tank which has multiple 'bulbs' on each tentacle as seen here:

Here is the euphyllia sp. in the foreground compared with some torch corals in the rear:

Any ideas as to what it could be?

That is a frogspawn.. I would say the second one u bought was mid labeled looks like a varient of a torch.
The first one be excat is a Euphyllia paradivisa .. just a plain branching frogspawn.
There are other types of frogspawns .

I'm sure there are plenty of hybrids, FS with hammer and torch all together.

Just to be clear (and perhaps I didn't clarify) those are pics of the same coral (excluding photo #5, of course and the torches included in pic #6), so I'm not quite understanding when you mention 'second one bought' and 'the first one'.

The photo's were taken at different times and in different locations of the tank (it's been moved around a lot over the years).

I have to agree with this. I've owned a hybrid or two. sold as a torch but it looked like a hammer. wah wah wah. There's plenty of variation to be had among the euphyllias, I don't think it's possible to just narrow every one down into "frogspawn, torch and hammer".

Definitely looks like you ended up with a E. cristata X E. paradivisa (hammerXfrogspawn) hybrid.
