Is this a good thing to keep? Easy?

Looks like Xenia, if so it will grow pretty fast and be everywhere you don’t want it to be lol

Your easy may be somebody else's impossible. If you can keep it alive, heck yeah keep it!

Xenia, they can take over of not kept in check but otherwise a cool coral

It may require pruning now and then, but a lot of fish stores will let you trade frags.

I was told it gets nutrients from the water and doesn’t need to be fed? Is this true?

Yes. They are also photosynthetic and the zooxanthellae will utilize your lights to produce sugars for the coral to eat

BTW, I'd name it Harry.

I agree. They are beautiful and apparently a great starter coral. My fave is pulsing. Can grow fast and be evasive. As long as you keep it trimmed it should not be an issue
