This was sold as a "Australian Tree coral"
Has a yellowish coloration to it that my phone camera can't seem to pick up well.

Maybe some type of Colt coral?

Thanks again for looking!
 
Looks more like a Kenya tree based of how the branches look
 
Blows the last one out the park. The back is huge. Has your tree opened up fully yet? Mine are still settling in without open polyps but are increasingly extended
Fully opened up, took about a week. Finally seeing it raise towards the light!

One of the pieces broke off the original so I stuck it in a rock where it couldn’t float away and it stuck pretty fast. This was well over a month ago.

As of now it’s extending much more and has definitely branched a little. It’s polyps actively close and catch food which makes me think it may be a half photosynthetic
