Green Bird’s Nest Coral – Seriatopora guttatus
- Date Added: 01/02/2009
- Tank: Cardiff
- Status: Inactive 11/20/2010
- Purchased at: Coral Corral
- Cost: $30.00
- Coloration: Green polyps with light brown body
- Lighting: 250w MH 14000K Phoenix
- Description: It grows in a similar branching style as many acros but with their branches covered in tiny, fuzzy polyps.
- Light and Flow: For optimum coloration, it should be given a medium to high light levels such as T5 or metal halide lighting combined with medium to strong intermittent water current within the aquarium.
- Supplements: It will require maintaining stable levels of calcium, magnesium, pH, alkalinity, and other trace elements as you would with other types of SPS corals. It is essential for SPS health to keep nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates near undetectable levels.
- Feeding: While it does not require additional food to maintain its health, it will feed on micro-plankton and foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates.
