WYSIWYG*
Seriatopora caliendrum, commonly referred to as the bird's nest coral, is a fast-growing branching coral species well-suited for beginners wanting to keep/grow Small Polyp Stony (SPS) corals.
This coral can tolerate a broad range of lighting conditions and water flow.
Here at K&P we grow our frags under moderate to high lighting parameters (PAR 150-250) accompanied by moderate to high water flow.
Though this coral has been aquacultured in captivity its origins trace back to the East Africa region or the Red Sea.
Note: ALL corals are regularly fed our live phytoplankton to ensure optimal tissue health and vibrant coloration.
