1 yr growth shots of ORA's green bird's nest

Postby Acronuts » January 26th, 2010, 1:10 am

I have been looking forward to this for some time now. I can officially say now that I have been successful at keeping this sps coral. The following is a record of the growth of this beautiful coral purchased at WWC on 11-17-2008

I picked up one of those last month at a stage of growth about like stage 2. It is my favorite
coral in the tank. Those neon green polyps are great looking, especially when set off by that
deep rich golden brown colony. I do not have MH lighting, so I guess it might never get as big
as that last photo, but WOW, nice item.

What is your lighting setup. This coral is not completely under the MH's. Maybe yours will do fine and grow as well.
