My neighbor gave me this coral and I want to know what it is and if it needs anything special to keep it going?

Maybe a type of leather. Hard to tell from photo. Could possibly be bird's nest as well.

Looks like leather...some sort of kenya...has a greenish tinge like a green chromis.

that's what I thought at first, but it has a trunk that's almost 6 inches long and trunk is 2 inches in circumference.

If it has a trunk, then it's definitely a tree!

Looks like a leather coral or Christmas tree coral. If it withdraws at night like an anemone it's probably a Christmas tree coral. Also likely it's a Sinularia or Capnella (kenya).
