I look those 2 names up and looked at a couple pictures and they look nothing like mine!! I looks more like a green slimer. When I touch it it does start to slime up!

The "Bali Green Slimer" or "Green Slimer" is an Acropora yongei. While we will need to see more details of the corallite structure, I agree with Jason and think this species is a good starting point. It could also be some other species that shares the "staghorn" growth form that A. yongei exhibits.

Trying to ID a coral based on slime production is far from reliable.
