cedricang Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Yes it is a birdnest family. A relatively easy and beautiful SPS. Your frag looks in good health so far. Given proper care, it would give you a very light turquoise green apperance. Something like the pic shown here Welcome to SPS reefing journey ! Quote Treat others the way you wanna be treated...

cedricang Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Sherman is right. Water quality is the utmost important factor if you wanna attain good color. Lighting will then become crucial after you get the water quality right. Suggest you do some searching around this forum and Reef Central website as there are numberous good article which you can fall back on for a good start in SPS. Alternatively, make time to pay visit to some of the establish tank in the local scene and you will pick up valuable tips to answer your lighting question.
