Coral questions

I'm new to the hobby, this piece of coral came on my liverock. Any ideas what kind of coral it is?

It's a palythoa I'm not 100% on the name, I think nuclear green maybe?

If I may say it's not a nuclear green palythoa. It looks to be a standard green button palythoa. Here I have posted a link to the two different ones. I know that most corals can have multiple names but you can see the distinction in both of them.

I wish I got live rock. I just didnt want to risk anything bad getting in. My rock was still like 250 per box.. I purchased $500 on rocks, wow.
