Looks like a Kenya tree. Invasive, will grow all over if you don't try to separate it out to it's own little island/rock.

hard to tell from the photo but it is possible that is a form of aiptasia. I'm sure other members with far more knowledge then me will also weigh in on this.

Kenya tree....IMO almost as bad as aiptasia. Even on its on island rock little branches fall off and multiply all over the tank.

Kenya trees and colt corals are desirable for some. If you are looking for a simple coral that grows fast then this is a great one to have. I enjoy all forms of tree corals in a mixed reef. They help add contrast and fill spaces. They move with the flow and create dimension for cheap.

If you are seeking color you can look into sinularia and nepthea. Both green but very nice. Colts tend to have a iridescence to them and can be more desirable then a Kenya.

Any thriving coral can be deemed invasive. It's not going to ruin your reef and can be cut very easily.

Here's a photo with both a Kenya and a green tree coral - sinularia.
