Bought this from my LFS 3 days ago. It looked the same in their tank for two weeks at least.
Any idea on frogspawn like coral?

I would agree but... I have owned multiple colors of both frogspawn and torch and (to me) it seems to be on the frogspawn side. The tank it came from has also held frogspawns, hammerheads, and a torch at one time with no bleaching. The coral also has a light neon green sheen through out. Like I said before its been at my LFS for two weeks with no change in color and fully extended every time I've looked at it. Not ruling out a bleached coral but hoping against lol. I was just inquiring because I've seen online what people call candy cane frogspawn that have a light pink tint but have never seen any with green. And thanks for the response!

I saw a torch like that the other day. Weirdest looking thing ever but sooooo pretty. I almost bought it but was worried it was bleached as well. If its still like that in a few weeks ill know its not bleached (or I'd hope not) because the tank it's in keeps torches regularly and they're always fine.

Got my fingers crossed and it was a ridiculous 20$ so if it fails I won't feel too bad. Here it is with lights out. The green shows more. Sorry the pics are grainy but best I could do with my phone.

So awesome! I might go back and buy that one. I didn't ask the price though.
I believe I have a very similar coral.
It was purchased as a euphyllia cristata years ago but I now know that that is incorrect. I refer to it as a Euphyllia sp.
The tentacle tips seem to have traits of both a frogspawn and a hammer coral; it may be some sort of frogspawn-hammer hybrid, if that is even possible:

Comparison with some torchs:

Very interesting. Have you found any placement or flow they like better? Or similar to frog/hammer/torch?
