  Pink Birds Nest - Seriatopora hystrix

  This Pink Birds Nest (Seriatopora hystrix) frag is a fourth-generation captive-raised colony. Instead of encrusting a new base, it thickened its branches and generated many new branches. Three months later it showed excellent growth rates with vibrant pink coloration, and eight months later it had reached the water surface and encroached upon nearby corals.

  This Pink Birds Nest Coral frag purchased January 16, 2000 showed strong growth with almost a dozen new tips starting, reaching nearly 3 inches tall and 5 inches wide after 6 months. However, it suddenly began releasing chunks of flesh with bare skeleton, requiring removal from the tank.
