Orange bird's nest with burgundy polyps (Seriatopora hystrix) - Cedar Park

[d3rryc]

Well, zcatzmeow and I can't possibly be the ONLY northern MAASTards interested in the frag program! Where are the rest of the Austin-area reefers?

I've got an orange bird's nest with purple or burgundy polyps that's done really well for me. The parent colony is an ORA aquacultured coral. I have it down near the bottom of the tank, about 18" or more below the surface, and in moderately light flow. The lower flow has resulted in VERY delicate, lacy branches. Since my poor li'l obsolete digital camera can't seem to take a decent shot of this coral, I've linked to a pic on LiveAquaria.com that shows the coloration. However, the branches on mine are much thinner than the one in the pic.

I currently have one frag on an aragonite plug, and the tips have already split about 1/4" since I mounted it a couple of weeks ago.

If this can survive under power compacts, wouldnt mind giving it a shot. Also let me know if you are going to be at this weekends meeting.

Ok I would love to be the reciepiant of the orange birdsnest frag. Just wondering how long of a drive is it to your location from Belton Texas. If possible can the frag be picked up today or tomorrow due to my busy schedule.

dont forget, you must donate before you can sponsor

If its still available, sign me up for it.

[d3rryc]

apedroza, the frag is yours.

alasg001, I'll put you on the waiting list under the assumption that you're in the process of getting some frags ready to donate to the program.

Well I just got back from hurricane detail with the Texas National Guard and the person who was taking care of the tank during the summer was not as anal about it as I am. I guess its the best since I was hurrying to get peramaters back to the way I like, and I was in a hurry to replace some corals that are now in a better place. I just added a few things to the tank and want to make sure things are well. I will be putting some pink birdsnest and GSP corals up for donations shortly, once I am totally happy and can ensure they are doing well. I am not really worried about the GSP being ok since they are like weeds. [deleted sentence]

I lost this colony due to problems with my lighting. Please remove it from the list of donor frags.
