Grape coral?

Picked up a nice little Euphylia at brick petco the other day. Looked like a torch but in reading up, I’m wondering if it’s a grape coral.
Does this look like a grape or a torch? Anyone have experience with these? From what I’m reading keep them low since they’re a deeper water euphylia. Anything else? Are they more aggressive than torches or about the same?

Saw that there and Andrew said was a Torch. I can't keep them alive for some reason.
 
Yeah from what I’m reading another name for cristata torches are grape coral. Different family of euphylia but referred to as a type of torch nonetheless. Interesting.

just wondering if anyone here knows differences in keeping them happy vs other euphylia. Or has experiences to share.

Interesting. I had one similar from them a few months ago and treated like a normal torch. It did not survive and it had short tentacles after placing in my tank. I don't think they like all the flow so keep an on eye on it.
 
Thanks, will do. I have a lower flow area picked out, will move it later today though it looks like it’s doing pretty well.
