You are right only the first 2 are bird’s nest’s that other one is just some cheap Acro honestly, not colorful i don’t even think it has polyps

Doesn’t even have polyps . I guess if it doesn’t glow like a a laser tag arena then it doesn’t hold the attention of hobbyists in the year 2024.

Exactly, it’s all about the polyp extension in 2024

I wish the Corals of the World website was more popular than instagram so people could see what corals really look like, but that’s the world we live in today.

Interesting website. I don’t think I’d heard of that before.

Before the website, it was the three volume book set. This is where many hobbyists, myself included, learned about coral reefs, ecology, anatomy, and coral identification.

Don't know where you are buying coral. These things are huge. Guess it's easier to give commentary than answer a question. Nice

The poster you are referring to is very rude and if you read his posts he runs foul on just about everyone. WWC selles small 1 1/2 inch frags of bird nest for 30- 40 and then you have to pay shipping. You got colonies. Don't let him get to you.

No offence but they are frags not colonies.

And I think $50 each is really over the top.

I need to shop where you do.

^^^^^
Agree about the ID, not the pricing. The first two are Seriatopora species while the third may be a Acropora. Clear picture of the tip will ID it for sure. 50 for that size is not bad. They are colorful and will hold their color much better than Acropora.

That's the first actual ID I've seen and agree with. I looked up pictures and that's it exactly! Thank you!!

LOL, he is in Australia, so yes to him it's a frag, to all the rest it's a small colony.

Subjective opinions on the animals, if you don’t have anything nice to say, then just not say anything.
