The lfs guy told me that it is a birds nest coral, but after googling it i got a different looking one.
Any idea what it could be and how to take care of it? Thank you

Hey Charbel, your right, definitely not a birdsnest! Looks like maybe a green scroll coral ( SPS )? Not sure though, good luck!

Thanks for your reply and yes the green scroll looks similar to it. It has bumps on the surface with small feathers on the edge.
 
The growth on the edges looks odd for a scroll, but it could have been in odd lighting situations, making it grow strangely. Some scrolls reach up, kinda in tube form, thus the common name scroll, and your piece could be starting to do that. I don't know, I have a Yellow scroll, and it is more of a flat piece, but the structure of the polyps looks the same.
Edges look more like Montipora growth, but polyps don't look right for that.
Just trying to help, here's a pic of my Yellow
