Can someone please help identify this coral? Sold to me as a Kenya tree but I'm not so sure...

Agree with probably a stylophora. Possibly a pocillopora. Usually not that hard to tell the difference from the growth pattern, but this one's still indeterminate imo.

Tangentially, I can't seem to get either pink stylophoras or pink pocilloporas to actually stay pink in my tank. They grow great, but they always darken to a reddish-brown. ;Bored
 
Thank you all for the help. I have a biocube 32 LED. Will the light be enough? I have only beginner type coral now.

I haven't tried SPS under my BC32 LED. Everything I have read suggests the lights aren't strong enough for sps or anemones. Since you already have it (assuming you can't return it for the Kenya tree you wanted) maybe start in the middle and move up? Will be interested to know how it does.
