It’s called a goniopora and he either misled you or didn’t know, but they’re not a good beginner coral and aren’t easy. They are moderately difficult to keep. Needs medium to high light and medium flow. Needs to be fed a zooplankton food like Reefroids at least a couple times a week.

I got one too. My LFS Said its moderate but you have to feed them to keep them alive. Mines doing amazing though. Yours looks terrific
I ordered some Goniopower and I’m currently at my local grocery store getting a turkey baster…..Gonna have the healthiest goniopora
