I recently got feedback it is a neon green sinularia
$75
Sinularia possesses small bony needles called scerlites on the base of the coral.. . . . .nepethea does not have these.
The way I understand it is that there's a discernable difference between the polyps of a Sinularia and Nepthea as

Kenyii has a thick trunk, like a tree, and many branches giving it an arboreal appearance. The fine polyps of the Litophyton coral will make movement in your aquarium much more active.

Between the two you ask of, it seems either of these are sold as nepthia
