Frogspawn, Torch, or Otherwise?

Can someone tell me if this is a frogspawn, torch, or something else? I went into my LFS and saw this labeled under "hammer coral" which was either a complete mistake or they used to have a hammer coral in the same tank. It's clearly not a hammer but I have some people telling me it looks like a torch and others saying it is a frogspawn. I'm pretty sure it's a frogspawn based on the structures of the tubes. But I'm by no means an expert.

Here's a close up under actinics

Looks like a frogspawn someone can correct me though-
frogspawns have multiple ends on a single tentacle

Aren't torches more of a "one tip" deal? If you know what I mean? The tips on this coral have at least 2-3 knobs on each one. I believe torch corals are also more lengthy as far as their tentacles right?

Sorry I meant to say +1 to frogspawn. Yes you are correct on the multi tips.

its a frog
A torch has many long appendages that resemble tentacles with tiny bulbs at the tips the frog has branching appendeges
