what is octopus coral? it looks like a very nice frogspawn but costs like 300 for about 3 or 4 heads.

Actually E. divisa common name is frogspawn or octopus coral so I would question my LFS for the high price

Rip off

Absolutely a rip off. I got a nice single head at LFS for 20 bucks - and my LFS is pretty pricey.
My LFS differentiates between Octopus and Frogspawn in terms of color. Octopus isn't as bright a green. They charge about 2x for Frog.

This is what I bought as 'Octopus coral' years back, and typically what I see referred to as. I believe it to be Euphyllia yaeyamaensis...

I agree you seem to have E. yayamaensis. Which also have a singled round-tip. But I believe today the octopus coral belongs to the E. Divisa family
