Looking for birds nest pics.

I have the standard pink and green colonies. I'm curious to see what some other choices are.

Yeah I ordered one that came in about a week ago, and a friend has been holding onto it for me. Now we just need to collaborate our schedules so I can pick it up!

no only the first pic is ORA the second one is a colony from europe , it is a common coral there, the BOP was acquired by ORA in a trade with a european at a trade show in germany.

pIankton · 01/11/2009, 07:14 PM

Toward bottom left - orange with bright green tips - no more. Sold the colony, then the tank crashed shortly after.
