Cool thanks for the info, don't know much about sps species so need the help. The guy I got the frag from was sold the mother colony and was told it was a rare coral, will have to inform him this is not the case.

lol... indeed, any Birdsnest seems to be rare for East London
mos sps are rare in east london.. cant get it readily at the LFS and the majority of the guys down here cant seem to keep them too long as interest in the hobby dwindles as the season ends...
Defo Caliendrum, I had a huge colony that I fragged a few times and then it crashed
these appear much thicker than the ones kunhartd has so i'm with mudshark and yes common ive seen it on sale in forums apparently grows very fast
yep, Seriatopora Caliendrum and is a fast grower once it settles in, give it lots of space.
