Need advice on birdsnest coral

[PSXerholic]

I thought this seriatopora turns yellow fleshed if under too low of light? Mine used to be a nice pink, and I moved it lower and now the skin is almost rainbow like?

I got my one years back from ORA.

However I had other "Pink Birdsnests" over the years, and there was one that turned mostly yellowish and pink mixed as you said.
At one point I decided to keep the Red/Pink one only.

There are many particular species out there I believe.

It might be just me, but I've found the only way that I can't grow a bird's nest is out of the water. IME they are pretty much bullet proof.


I was down stair fragging a bird's nest when my son fell and broke his arm, dropped everything on the table and off to the ER we went, six hours later I came home and stick it in the tank it was fine with minimal loss.

It's an easy coral to be happy.
Maintain ALK and ca and mg, then this guy grows like weed.

The picture I posted earlier is after 3 months of growth from a backup frag I had sitting around.

It's fast!!!!

But I noticed it reacts very well when strontium is kept around 8, I dose strontium on dosing pumps to maintain it there.

As Russ said , birdsnest are pretty hardy and forgiving in dirty water.

If you're in SoCal , I'll give you some birdsnest / stylo frags to try . If not, I'm sure someone will hook you up with some free sps frags to try

Im in SoCal, I'll take a birdsnest and stylo to "try"! When should I pick them up??? ;p

You can but into the overflow to dilute it as much as you can before it enters the tank again.
I use Brightwell dry powder and mix it with RODI.
