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?

Beautiful, give it light, feed alittle. Should live many years
 
Honestly looks like a derpy Kenya Tree based on the polyps. It's in the family Nephtheidae if that helps
