i assume you mean hydnophora?
they need moderate lighting, t-5 or MH would be ideal.
moderate flow
give him room, they can kill most corals they come in contact with. make sure hes secured to something, you dont want him to fall onto another coral.

here it is. just to gaurantee that's what we got

i wish i took a picture of mine with a zenia stalk being wrapped in its short sweeper like polops they are now going around it

here is a pic of mine when I firts put it in the tank before the polyps came out. Don't worry about killing it they are very hardy!

Needs very high flow and intense light for proper growth. It's also a very aggressive coral, so give it plenty of room.

so how much would you pay for him? I plan on trading him in and am curious of how much would be a good deal. It's about 2 to 2 1/2 inches tall.
