Galaxy coral

I bought a galaxea frag last week for $10. It had(sorry I don't know the coral language yet...)5 stems/heads on it,with a few tiny babies at the base. Now, only a week later, each has 3-6 babies(which have doubled in size) growing on their foot! Is this normal growth speed, or am i just doing something really right?
They are so pretty. I love the way they move their tentacles and interact with eachother. Sometimes they move a tentacle down and it looks like they are caressing their babies!
Anyway, my lighting is a 10 watt led bulb made up of red, green, and blue bulbs inside so it can change colors. This is a 2.5 gallon pico, so I'm not sure if that is high or low light. I fed them once or twice with mysis and soggy pellets.
Anyway, and tips or suggestions on further care? Thanks!
 
What! No Pictures?

I really can not give you an opinion because I have never had one but I do like them.

Just so you know galaxies can send out some pretty long sweepers so keep that in mind with coral placement especially in such small quarters.
 
I haven't had any issues with the sweepers yet. Sometimes I get up in themiddle of the night and look at it under red lights. even then, then, it's not doing any sweeping.Still though, the only other corral I'm keeping are shrooms so I don't think it will be as big of an issue.
Do you know how to tell if they are not getting enough light?
 
i have a frag that size in mine, and i have never seen sweepers on it. however we have 2-3 larger, fist sized colonies at the store, and i have seen those guys put out some sweepers bordering on 6"
