Green birdsnest is about to hit the surface

[Aquattro]

Corals that hit the surface typically appear to encrust the water line. By that I mean they flatten out at the surface and grow round disks. That's been my experience with acros anyway, not sure what a birdsnest will do. Let it go so we can find out. always a shame to chop up mature colonies.

I say frag it I can come by tomorrow and grab some

OK, let's let it go and see what happens
Then we'll all know

I agree it's a shame to bust it up and is why I needed some input

Yes, I was thinking it may disc out on the surface, Brad, as some of your's have in the past, and this has me concerned about light penetration
Here goes the experiment

I'll be taking along to see what happens as well! I have a green birds nest thats getting close to the surface as well.

I'd definitely let it grow to the surface to see what it does. Could be interesting, or it could just stop entirely and grow thicker at the bottom rather than the top :-)

And so it begins ...

Birdsnest vs Surface Water experiment

I had pink birdsnest that did exactly what brad said.
