Seriatopora Hystrix (Pink) 2
Seriatopora hystrix, also known as the "Bird's Nest Coral", is a striking SPS (Small Polyp Stony) coral, popular for its delicate, branching morphology and lovely pink color. This species adds height and texture to any reef aquarium, particularly highlighting areas with intense lighting.
Care Requirements:
Lighting: Bright (ideally high intensity LED or T5)
Water Flow: Strong and turbulent (to prevent organic matter from settling)
Placement in the aquarium: Upper zones (where there is intense lighting and flow)
Water Stability: Very important - sensitive to sudden changes (KH, Ca, Mg, NO3, PO4)
Feeding: Relies mainly on photosynthesis through zooxanthellae, but benefits from targeted feeding with microplankton or amino acids
