THose are Green Star Polyps. THey are a good coral that can grow very quickly. Some people consider them a pest because of their amazing growth rate. It looks like yours has been through some stress recently. The polyps aren't out in full. BTW, I believe that is a Pachyclavularia species. ;)

People on the forum also call them GSP and in good conditions can rapidly take over large areas.
