Seriatopora hystrix (Birdsnest Coral) 🌿🪶

A branching SPS stunner, Seriatopora hystrix is known for its fine, delicate branches and intense neon colors—often pink, green, or purple. It brings motion and texture to SPS-dominant reefs and thrives under stable conditions.

Care Guide:

• 💡 Lighting: High PAR (200–350) — best coloration under strong blue spectrum

• 🌊 Flow: Strong and random — helps prevent detritus buildup in tight branches

• 🧪 Water Parameters:
  • Temp: 76–78°F
  • Salinity: 1.025
  • Alkalinity: 8–10 dKH
  • Calcium: 420–460 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1300–1400 ppm
  • Nitrates: 1–5 ppm
  • Phosphates: 0.01–0.05 ppm

Placement: Upper third of the tank with good flow and light

Growth Rate: Fast — will grow outward and upward quickly under stable parameters

Feeding: Mainly photosynthetic but may benefit from occasional broadcast feeding of coral foods

Care Level: Intermediate — requires stable parameters but more forgiving than many SPS

📦 Note: Not WYSIWYG — color tone and branching may vary by frag.
