Birds Nest
Photo by: Matt Sander
Scientific Name
Seriatopora
Common Names
Birdsnest, Cauliflower
Origin
Red Sea, Indo Pacific, Eastern Pacific Regions
Lighting
Medium low to High. This is one of the few sps (small polyp stoney) corals that does well in moderately lit tanks.
Note: The bright pink color morphs will need high light to retain that color.
Aggressiveness
Low
Current
As with most stonies it loves strong alternating currents.
Hardiness
Moderate, one of the easiest sps to keep.
Placement
High in the tank in strong current. Keep well away from aggressive corals with sweeper tentacles.
