  Special Requirements and Information:
As always anytime that we can feature cultured items, we do. This one is an amazing beauty. A true conversation piece for every aquarium. The Bird's Nest branches spike out in all directions and in the wild create a great habitat for fry and smaller fish. They can get aggressive with local corals, so place them carefully.
They should only be added to established tanks and do very poorly in tanks where there are nutrients in the water column. This is one of the corals that really require a good protein skimmer.
Feed anytime during the day. Once they're accustomed to your tank, they can be introduced to frozen foods such as chopped blood worms, artemia or squid.
