Green Birdsnest (WYSIWYG)

Green Birdsnest (Seriatopora hystrix)

Lighting: Moderate–High (200–350 PAR)
Flow: Moderate–High, turbulent
Placement: Mid–Upper rockwork
Temperament: Peaceful
Difficulty: Intermediate

Bright green branching SPS coral with thin, tightly clustered growth tips that form a dense “bird’s nest” structure. Fast-growing under stable conditions, this coral adds height, texture, and vibrant fluorescence to SPS-dominant and mixed reef systems.

Thrives in stable parameters with consistent alkalinity (8–9 dKH), strong flow, and low-to-moderate nutrient levels. Best suited for mature systems with stable chemistry.
