The sweepers on Favites can get fairly long. Most of the tentacles on mine are 1/2" or less, and I think those are the ones specifically for feeding. Then, there are occasionally much longer single tentacles that come out, and I've seen those up to about 5". Fortunately they don't seem to have done any real damage to their neighbors, but for the most part, I just keep my other corals away from this guy.

Looks like Favites. Maybe Favites chinensis

Smaller frag looks like Favites as well, but different species.
