Green Birdsnest Coral
Seriatopora caliendrum
Care Summary
Green Birdsnest caliendrum is one of the most delicate-looking corals you can keep — needle-thin branches radiate in every direction creating an intricate lattice structure that turns vivid green under quality lighting. Top placement with high light and strong, turbulent flow; the fine branch structure needs constant water movement to stay clean and develop properly. caliendrum is extremely fragile physically — a single knock can shatter a colony — and it's sensitive to parameter swings, which makes it a true advanced-level commitment despite its non-aggressive temperament. Keep a dedicated spot in the tank where it won't be disturbed by maintenance, feed fine zooplankton weekly, and run a stable trace element program; this coral rewards obsessive consistency.
