   |  Green Birdsnest
Well quite by accident we fragged a beautiful Green Birdsnest about 6 weeks ago. It was rather large and while gluing it to the rock where it was going to reside in the display tank, it was dropped. Needless to say I was a bit upset. It broke into four pieces...We glued the four pieces to reef plugs and put them at the top of the rock work. All four have nearly doubled in size in a short period of time. All of the polyps are extended and they are vibrant neon green. This is our introduction into fragging...I am amazed at how resilient this coral is...  _________ 72 gallon bowed 150lbs LR 60 lbs LS

Seriatopora is very fragile, but it is one of my favorites | |

I just can't keep the stuff. I have over 100 different SPS corals in my tank. But Green birdnest just doesn't like my tank. Pink is fine.
Glad to see others are having good success.

In about 3 years, this sucker grew from 2-3 branches to this....we have two in our tank that are about the size of a baseball.  |
