Nope that's good ol GSP! Green star polyps. Its a type of soft coral. It grows fast and is usually bright green. Once it gets used to the tank it will brighten up. Be carefull, its very fast growing and can completly engulf a piece of live rock. It grows kinda like a matt over the top of the rock.

I agree, it's some type of coral I think. It might be GSP or something similar but it's not aiptasia and I'm 99% sure it's not majanos either.

Looking at the pictures closer, I'm 100% sure it's not majanos. It's some type of octocoral since each polyp has eight tentacles. GSP, clove polyps and gorgonians are all octocorals. To me it looks like an encrusting gorgonian but you'll be able to tell better when it colors up or starts to mat.
