ID this LPS Bubble/Frogspwn?

The base looks identical to a bubble coral when retracted, but open it looks frogspawny. What do you guys think?

DSCN0874

Thanks for the help. It has only been in the tank for a few minutes. It opens up about twice this size, but I wanted to make sure I got a pic of the base.

It is a Frogspawn. The base for the bubble and spawn are very similar.

If the tentacles branch, it's frogspawn. If something like that doesn't branch, it's probably torch. If tentacles don't branch and have hammerhead tentacle ends, it's hammer/anchor coral.

Yeah you can see the multiple egg like circles on each tentacle which is why I said it was a frogspawn.
