Teal Birdsnest – Delicate Form, Vibrant Growth
The Teal Birdsnest (Seriatopora sp.) is a fast-growing SPS favorite that combines soft pastel teal coloration with a finely branched, airy growth form. Its thin, intertwined branches create an almost cloud-like effect in the water column, while the subtle shimmer of teal tones gives it a peaceful, glowing presence in both SPS-dominant and mixed reefs.
Known for its exceptional growth rate, the Teal Birdsnest thrives under moderate to high light and strong, turbulent flow, developing dense, bushy colonies with excellent polyp extension and intricate texture. It’s a reef builder that offers both vertical lift and graceful motion.
