Scientific name: Serolina
Seriatopora is a genus of small polyp stony corals commonly known as birdsnest corals. They are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their intricate, tree-like structures and vibrant colors, ranging from pink to green. These corals are relatively hardy and can grow quickly under the right conditions, making them suitable for beginners. They thrive in moderate to high lighting and strong water flow, which helps prevent algae growth on their delicate branches. Birdsnest corals are also known for their symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae, which provide them with nutrients through photosynthesis.
