Birds nest coral is of the sps variety and can come in several different color variations. When buying birds nest, or also known as Seriatopora it is very important to know what species you are getting. The yellow birds nest is a very popular type that can be found at many local fish stores. This species of birds nest does not require super intense lighting. Usually ranges in the 50 to 100 par range suffice for yellow birds nest. If you blast yellow birds nest with super intense lighting you will more than likely kill it even though it is an sps coral. C&M Aquatics has successfully kept yellow birds nest in medium to low lighting without any issues. There are also other species like the birds of paradise that require more intense lighting so make sure to do your research before purchasing birds nest. Birds nest like high flow areas of the aquarium. This is especially true once the colony gets more dense and compacted. Birds nest is a very fast growing coral when given the proper conditions and is a coral that is very easy to propagate. Birds nest should not be placed in a new aquarium and should be in an aquarium that has had time to mature. Wait untill your aquarium is at least 6 months old and it is even better to wait for that one year mark if you can. We do offer birds nest on our website at www.cmaquaticsky.com.
