What kind of coral is this? I'm not an expert, but just love to explore and found this beautiful thing.

I tried to google it but found no match. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

I am by no means an expert in corals, but this look more like it has an geological origin than a biological. 
Some sort of cool looking mineral rather than a fossil coral in my opinion, but let's wait what more knowlegdable members have to say.

Different rock, but I think they're the same type

For me too it’s geological. Where was it found? The green mineral reminds me of malachite.

Thought so. No they are not the same type of rock. The first looks like it has some copper minerals as Coco is suggesting.
