Coral Help

Hello I got this coral from a friend and was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is ??? and also if it is healthy???? Its only been in the tank for 2 days so I don't know if it is fully acclimated. But when it was in his tank it was a lot brighter green and had tentacles coming out of it. Thank you

It looks like a grumpy plate coral. (Fungia)

Yes, still acclimating. You might try dropping a small piece of mysis on the center of it. Mine eats like a pig!
