Green Birdsnest

About this coral

Green Birdsnest – Multiples Available is a selection of SPS (small polyp stony) corals for reef aquariums, typically prized for their fine, tight polyps and distinctive branching or encrusting form. In practice, this coral helps add vertical structure and texture to your tank while blending well with other SPS placements when you allow enough space for natural growth. Because these are living corals, each frag’s shape and branching pattern will vary slightly from piece to piece, even when all are selected from in-stock inventory for overall quality.

Features:

• Tight polyp structure for a crisp, detailed look in reef lighting
• Branching or encrusting growth that can add both height and texture
• Strong, high-contrast coloration under reef-spectrum/actinic lighting
• Chosen for healthy tissue and display-ready appearance from available stock
• Best results come from providing moderate to high lighting and turbulent flow
