Default Hard Coral What is it?

I have this coral on my rock that was given to me from a store, The person from the store thought it was something called Hydropornia hard coral.. Is that what this is? Any comments on care and feeding are welcome..


edit: under the actinic lights it is a bright green, and about the size of my thumb.
