Only thing I have remotely like it is a green Kenya tree, could it have split maybe?

Yeah, definitely colonial tunicates - these are harmless filter feeders, and these aren't the typical, highly invasive kind.

Super cool find!

When was the last time you added something to your tank, and are you feeding any tiny foods (like phyto, coral feeds, etc.)?

I ask because these kinds don't typically do very well in our tanks, but your colony seems ro be doing fine.

Last time anything went in was about a month ago and nothing that big could have been on the frags without me being able to see it so either they’ve grown a lot or they came in earlier on bigger stuff. I do feed pod’s regularly and coral feed

Its a bud from your Kenya Coral. It must be that time of year. The one I have in my classroom reef has been dropping off buds for weeks now. They are everywhere.

If Kenya Tree coral buds can be see-through, that's a definite possibility that I hadn't thought of.

The openings of the holes/polyps do seem to all have 8 tentacles, so that would be consistent with an octocoral.
