The $10 Box & Handling Fee is charged per box, not per coral. It covers the insulated box, heat or ice packs and the time it takes to pack live coral safely. UPS Next Day Air is one flat livestock shipping charge per order, the carrier cost of getting it out of Key West alive. A box typically holds around five small frags, so adding compatible corals to the same shipment usually will not add another box fee or change the shipping charge. Larger colonies, species that cannot share water, or extreme weather can require a second box. Orders with $349 or more in qualifying livestock ship free.

Florida: $30 UPS Next Day Air livestock shipping. Qualifying Florida livestock orders under 6 lb ship UPS Next Day Air for a flat $30, plus the $10 Box & Handling Fee. Heavier or mixed shipments use our standard UPS Next Day Air rate. Orders with $349 or more in qualifying livestock ship free.

Livestock ships UPS Next Day Air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so nothing sits in a facility over a weekend. We ship livestock within the continental U.S. only. We do not ship to Alaska or Hawaii.

Category: Birdsnest, SPS Corals

Description

Pink Fiji Bird’s Nest is a bird’s nest coral (Seriatopora), the fine-branched SPS that grows into a tight thicket. Ours grows pink-lavender branches with pink polyps. The photo shows the colony in our Key West system that your frag is cut from.

What you get

One frag about 3/4 to 1 inch, cut to order from the colony in the photo and mounted on a plug. Pick your timing at checkout:

Fresh cut: cut and shipped on the next Tuesday or Wednesday ship day.
Grow-out: cut now and held about 3 weeks so the base encrusts onto the plug, then shipped.

Same price either way. A new frag will not have the branch density of the colony in the photo. That fills in as it grows.

CARE INFORMATION

Lighting	Medium — PAR 100–200
Flow	Medium, steady and randomized
Placement	Mid rockwork, with room around it to branch
Feeding	Optional; mostly photosynthetic
Water Parameters	Salinity 1.025–1.026 · Temperature 76–78°F · Alkalinity 8–9 dKH · Calcium 420–440 ppm · Magnesium 1300–1400 ppm

What to expect when it arrives

The polyps will be pulled in and the color duller than the photo. That is normal after a night in a bag. Float the sealed bag 15 minutes, drip acclimate 45 minutes, dip the frag, and start it low and out of direct flow for the first week. Handle it by the plug. The branch tips snap if you pinch them.

Where bird’s nest goes wrong

Bird’s nest usually shows trouble before other SPS do. When alkalinity or temperature swings, tissue can start peeling from the base upward, and it moves fast. Hold alkalinity steady instead of chasing a number, and keep water moving through the branches so detritus does not settle inside the thicket.
