Bought this little frag from a (not so) lfs. The person working didn't know what it was and it wasn't labeled. I badly needed some green added to my tank and it was $20 so... could someone please tell me what I have? Thank you in advance for your help!

IMO it looks like a hydnophora pilosa. They’re an SPS that likes moderate flow and moderate light. I wouldn’t put it close to any other coral though cause they’re incredibly aggressive and have a potent nematocyte sting

I looked that up and you might be right.. here's another pic today. Doesn't seem happy in my tank...
