ORA Bird of Paradise Birdsnest Coral

The ORA Bird of Paradise **Birdsnest** Coral is a vibrant and dynamic addition to any reef aquarium. This coral is cut to order, ensuring that each frag is fresh and ready for acclimation into your tank. Please allow up to 2 weeks for healing, and we recommend selecting a shipping date at least a week away from purchase to ensure the best start for your new coral. Each frag is approximately 1/2 inch in size.

For optimal growth and coloration, mount your new coral on a rock or ledge that receives direct lighting and ample flow using IC gel glue, putty, or both. **Birdsnest corals** thrive under moderate to high water flow and moderate lighting conditions. T5’s, Metal Halides, or LED’s with a 18-20K color spectrum are recommended for the best coloration.

Feeding Recommendations:

**Top Shelf Aquatics** recommends feeding **Birdsnest corals** with a combination of Zooplanktons, Phytoplanktons, Amino Acids, and other Organic Proteins. A daily broadcast feeding while return and circulation pumps are stopped will ensure the corals receive the nutrients they need.
