Looks like either colt coral, green Kenyii tree or Nepthia
 
yep nep,what happened hit a really large bug! :p
 
softer looking polyps ,more like "flowers" sinulara not as "fluffy" per say
 
Thats what I thought. I get nepthia and sinularia mixed up. Can you explain how you can tell. I'm lost like a fricken Easter egg
The way I understand it is that there's a discernable difference between the polyps of a Sinularia and Nepthea as
Sinularia possess small bony needles called scerlites in the base of the coral..nepethea does not have these.
Kenyii has a thick trunk, like a tree, and many branches giving it an arboreal appearance. The fine polyps of the Litophyton coral will make movement in your aquarium much more active.

Between the two you ask of, it seems either of these are sold as nepthia
