birdsnest coral

[squishifishi]

I bought my first ever sps coral- a birds nest! I'm not sure what kind it is but it has really long polyps with bright green tips. to me, it looks like a galaxea in sps form...
do you have any tips for care of this coral? My light is a 10 watt LED, and this is my 2.5g pico. It is in an area recieving full light and good flow. I don't have any special coral food, but I hear that they will be get enough nutrients just from me feeding my fish. I tried spot feeding it yesterday with the juices from my fish food blend. it is mostly mysis. can they eat that since it is liquid food?
any other advice for a newbie would be great!

No need to feed, ESPECIALLY in a pico! Have a few different BN in my nano, they grow great. Just keep the water clean, and watch it grow. I started mine at the bottom, now I have them all over. GL!
