A yellow-bodied birdsnest, sometimes showing pink-tipped branches, that fluoresces brightly under actinic lighting and brings a warm color rarely seen among the usual pink and green forms.
📜 Backstory
Sold by Tidal Gardens as 'Yellow Bird's Nest Seriatopora' and described by them as a fast-growing, beginner-friendly SPS; closely related 'yellow with pink tips' birdsnests are also offered by other retailers. These are aquacultured/wild color selections rather than a single-collector designer line.
Keeper tips for this variant
Unlike the pink forms, this one actually prefers somewhat subdued lighting to hold its yellow; give moderate flow and watch for tip recession if PAR or flow is pushed too high on the fine branches.
