That’s so weird...birdsnest is another one I can’t seem to keep alive! Yet I have several acropora and Millies that do just fine!I've always heard that too, but I've killed at least three frags of it, so I don't even bother anymore.
I'm able to keep pretty demanding SPS alive, but I can kill a birdsnest faster than anyone, so maybe Red Planet is just too easy for me to keep it alive...
