Re: red Acropora

nothing special. it is just like a birdsnest. needs good lighting like a MH or T5. moderate flow

I agree.
caring for it is basically the same as acros.High light,high flow.Just keep your calcium,alkalinity,and magnesium levels right,and it'll do great.

Re: red Acropora

I agree with Capt. That looks like a birdsnest to me.

Digitatas have much thicker "fingers".

Birdsnest look exactly like that, with the polyps spaced far apart, the pointy tips and everything.
