Green and slightly crusty or blackish and smooth ? Green is usually at a joint that has had a miniscule leak at some point and caused surface corrosion. Or water got to it from some outside source. Almost certainly nothing to worry about. Black could be most anything that stained the surface and again, nothing to worry about.

Water has a temp of 4.184 and copper has a temp of 0.387. Does it takes more heat to raise the temp of the copper molecule?

These are not temperature numbers but specific heat numbers. They mean that it takes 4.184 Joules and 0.387 Joules respectively to raise water and copper of one gram by one degree celsius. So, as you can see, it takes a lot more heat to raise the temperature of water than it does of copper. Water has a very high specific heat.
