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.

I say it's a seriatopora sp - birdsnest.

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.

definately a birdsnest ... the plug looks like it might even be an ORA, but it could have been placed on that plug. is it encrusted on the plug ??
you can tell that it is not an acro because it does not have polyps on the very tip of the branches. EVERY acro has a polyp on the tip of every branch.

Oceans, Reefs, and Aquariums. they are a very well known aquaculture facility. also known to have very nice corals.
