Hello, I'm in Hong Kong and the main way to buy corals here is from Chinese forums using Google translate (yes, it is a nightmare, but can be cheap). This was sold to me as ''Christmas Tree JP' or (Jp... Japan?) but christmas tree / medusa corals seem to be devoid of colour. This is a great green, brighter than the photo suggests. It almost looks like an sps. The frag rock is beneath the sand. Any ideas?

Honestly looks like a derpy Kenya Tree based on the polyps. It's in the family Nephtheidae if that helps
