Nice frag. I'm a big fan of the stylos.

I'm new to these guys so any advice would be nice!

What is the difference between stylophoras and birds nest corals? polyp size?

I believe the main difference is branch size. The birds nests are thinner and come to a point where the sylophora is rounded

i think birdsnest is just a common name for Seriatopora and Stylophora. Ive seen both advertised as birdsnests in stores and online. Seriatopora will have pointy tips as Granolees said and stylophora will have rounded ends

lots of water movement is important!!

Ok thanks. Its been a couple of weeks now and the polyp extension has increased a lot! I haven't seen any signs of distress so, so far so good.
