Orange Setosa (Birdsnest)
A variant of Birdsnest coral (Seriatopora hystrix)
Representative Birdsnest coralphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
Technically *Psammocora* but traded alongside birdsnest, this is a low-encrusting orange-to-red morph with a fuzzy texture rather than fine branches.
Keeper tips for this variant
Unlike branching birdsnest it likes lower-to-moderate flow on a flat surface where it can encrust outward; too much PAR bleaches the orange.
