WWC RF Jade Dragon Birdsnest Coral

WWC RF Jade Dragon Birdsnest Coral

Species: Seriatopora spp.

Coral Type: SPS Coral / Birdsnest

WWC RF Jade Dragon Birdsnest Coral is a striking small polyp stony coral prized for its vibrant coloration and delicate, intricate branching structure. Its slender branches form a dense, birdsnest-like colony covered in tiny polyps, creating an attractive combination of texture and movement as the coral grows. Its jade-green coloration can become especially vivid under blue-spectrum and actinic lighting, making it an excellent choice for adding bright color and fine structure to an established reef aquarium.

Coral Type: SPS Coral / Birdsnest
Lighting: Moderate to High lighting requirements (approximately 150–300 PAR)
Flow Rate: Moderate to High; strong, turbulent water movement helps deliver nutrients and oxygen while keeping debris from accumulating between the delicate branches
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; consistent nutrient availability and occasional feedings of fine particulate coral foods may support healthy growth and coloration
Aggression: Peaceful to Semi-Aggressive; generally non-aggressive, but adequate spacing should be maintained as the colony branches and expands
Placement: Best placed on stable mid-level to upper rockwork where it can receive consistent lighting and moderate to strong, turbulent flow. Allow sufficient room for the branches to develop without contacting neighboring corals.

We maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program that includes proactive treatments, careful observation, and daily monitoring to ensure the highest standards of coral and invertebrate health. Our biosecurity practices reduce the risk of cross-contamination between systems, meaning all of our livestock are carefully quarantined and prepared for your display tank.
