Add bright contrasting color and intricate branching growth to your reef with the ORA Green Tip Pink Birdsnest Coral.
This aquacultured Seriatopora variety develops a tangled network of slender fuchsia-pink branches accented by delicate green growth tips. Its polyps display a blue-green hue, creating beautiful contrast under reef aquarium lighting.
As the colony matures, its widely spaced branches form an open and complex structure. Position the coral where moderate to strong water movement can travel throughout the entire colony, helping prevent debris from collecting between the branches.
Aquacultured by ORA, this coral offers established captive-grown lineage and is an excellent choice for reef keepers looking to add a colorful, faster-growing SPS coral to a stable aquarium.

Placement and Flow
Place the Green Tip Pink Birdsnest in the middle or upper portion of a mature reef aquarium where it will receive suitable light and consistent, indirect water movement.
Provide enough flow to reach between the branches as the coral grows, but avoid placing it directly in front of a powerful pump that could damage its delicate tissue.
Lighting and Acclimation
This coral performs best under medium to high reef lighting. Begin the coral in a slightly lower-light location and gradually move it toward its final placement to reduce the risk of light shock.
Stable Reef Conditions
Like other SPS corals, the Green Tip Pink Birdsnest requires stable salinity, temperature, alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium. Sudden changes in water chemistry may cause stress, reduced polyp extension, or tissue loss.
