birds nest growth rate

4 months growth, is this normal for the species?

 

i dont know if its normal....buts its cool

 

Looks about right...We have a Green Birdsnest, and a few frags and they all have doubled in size in about six weeks...

 

I've got a pink birdsnest but it doesn't grow nearly as quickly as yours has, however, I find that most corals that have been kept in captive environments for long periods of time tend to grow faster than wild collected corals. Is your birdsnest aquacultured or does it come from a colony that has been kept in captivity for a long time?

 

heres his green sidekick with 4 months growth. both frags came from the ocean.

 

Very interesting. I wonder what you're doing to get your pink birdsnest to grow so quickly! My green birds nest (Seriatopora guttatus) grows like wildfire but it's not the same species as the pink (Seriatopora hystrix).

 

Wow, your ready to do some fragging... ;D

 

amcarrig, ive never done a water change. which is why i was wondering what others think.

 

looks about right. With proper lighting, water flow and nutrient levels, thats what you'll get.

 

Tangster and I don't do water changes either but our birdsnest growth doesn't compare to yours
