Bought this at my LFS over the weekend and can’t remember what it is. Whoops! Any help?

Branching Hydnophora, I've never owned it but I'm sure others can chime in on care.
Thank you! Much appreciated!

Anyone with experience caring for this coral? Read they can be pretty aggressive.
 
Extremely aggressive of to close to another coral. Sometimes they need 6” of space. They do great in any conditions and are more like an lps coral than an sps coral. Lots of food in the tank will make them very fluffy. I remember when I would move my old colony and touch the coral it would slime on my hand and actually cause my hand to tingle and go numb a little. This is why I saw it’s more of an lps coral, plus the sweepers, plus the fluffy apearence.
I saw a pink/purple looking on at my friends shop and realized I had never seen that color before. Anyone else seen any other colors of this coral? The blue ones online look like green ones under too much blue light but this one was pretty pink from what I could tell.
 
Very aggressive, beautiful and deadly... it’ll sting other corals. Highly recommend place it on its own rock. I had it in good flow, moderate lighting.
