Could be green star polyps. That is what they look like when retracted. What was the coral were you expecting to get.

Makes a pretty green carpet when polyps are extended. Can become a bit invasive, so put it where you want it to be for a long time. Once the mat spreads onto adjacent rocks, it (the mat) can be fairly difficult to remove.
