Interested to know what this coral is, common names and scientific if possible.

Looks like a Nephthea. Maybe with a filter on the photo as well.

Thanks for the reply, this is just a regular Kenya tree? Ive heard of green ones, and others but this one has hues of greenish blue in it compared to standard brown/pink Kenya trees.

Is it slimy and soft? If so possible nephthea.
Is it more leathery? If so possible kenya, and a nice one compared to the regular dull tan colored ones.

Ill go give it a poke when I get home today. I have a feeling its more on the Capnella side with the Kenya trees. But still not totally sure. The reason I asked was that the store was selling it as a Jap. Christmas Tree, yeahh sometimes the fancy names to lure people is alittle silly, but this one actually caught my attention when I was in the store, purpleish trunk, green branches and the polyps have the slightest bit of blueish tint with the tips of the polyp displaying some of that typical bronwnish kenya tone. Interesting in my opinion, buuuut I can imagine it being the common "green kenya" with some coloring-up to do?
