The green tree coral in the middle. Paid 60 bucks for a really small frag :|

It seems like some sort of soft coral
 
Also could I ask for some help?
 
How do you keep your zoa open I’m having trouble with them I got them 2 days ago and they just open and close the open half way then just close right now they are closed all the way

Check to see if anything is irritating them perhaps underneath. Try a low flow low light area and leave it there for a few days.
 
I have a bad habit of always moving things around. It’s best to just find a spot for them and leave them to acclimate before moving them to a more permanent spot.

I don’t see anything that could be aggravating them they are in a low to medium flow he likes the light so that why he comes out sometimes

Since it’s new I would just leave them be for a few days. They look fine.
 
Ahhhhh ok I think I found my mistake you said avoid moving them around to be honest it was very happy when we got it but then the next day it closed up so I moved it and it seemed to do no better then I moved it back

Yes they are green and black they have a green center black median and a green outline
 
Oh man it could be ! I was trying to avoid having Kenya trees........is the green morph rare ? It’s quite pricey for something that grows so easily.
 
I’m relived to hear that you think they look great i hope they come out in the future
 
HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS

Yes, kenya tree corals come in green. I don't know the rarity of it, though. Just keep it trimmed... but if others start sprouting up elsewhere, you might have to take some drastic measures to rid your tank of it. I personally like the look of them.
