Got this double-headed cynarina for about 30 bucks after trading in some pieces, got a HUGE discount.

It's my first cynarina; Should I treat this piece like a scoly? Similar light/flow?

What an odd Cynarina. They're solitary so seeing two polyps is quite strange. Do you have a picture with whites on so I can see color? I treat them a lot like Scolymia (now called Homophyllia the genus has been changed). Be sure to not blast them with too much light and to feed them well and it will be good to you.
 
I will post the white pictures when my lights come on tomorrow. I just put it in the tank and didn't take any with whites yet. I feed my scolys and acans about every 3-4 days, I guess I'll follow that schedule.
 
That's pretty, especially if that green keeps developing. That thing is a freak of nature with two polyps I love it.
