    this is a birdsnest frag that only had 2 spikes on it when i bought it. while on vacation, it fell into a patch of anthelia and was there 3 days. when i came back, i retrieved it and notice it had changed colors and i thought it was dead. out of curiousity, i placed it back on the live rock and now the polyps come out and it is growing rapidly. you can also see a green monti cap frag
