Anyone else ever see the Jason Fox Enchanted Forest Birdsnest?
It's like an ORA Neon Birdsnest except with a bright green body!
If you have one in your tank please share a pic (and maybe a frag;))!

I agree with Desert Reef
I can green up that birdsnest by increasing light. There's nothing special about JF corals other than the saturation slider he uses in photoshop.
I'd genuinely love to see you do that. I think it's such a cool color combo for an sps!

IMO, these guys are right. Just because you do not like the answer does not mean that people are haters... some would rather deny a hard truth than accept it.

In any case, who can even see a birdsnest body with all of the polyps on there...except for at the tips when they are growing fast.

It’s not that serious bro.
I had fun with this thread, but there is a very clear difference between birdsnests. Idk why people have trouble seeing the clear difference in body color, but hey it’s all good. To each his own, I enjoy that birdsnest quite a lot and I hope to get it in my tank

I think we have to consider the fact that coral sellers are trying to sell coral.

What you think an ora bird of paradise looks like and what it actually looks like:

Honestly the one I have looks like your first picture...This was taken back in December with an iphone under my sbreef lights running 100% on both channels. The lighter colors are due to the lack of light which u can see in my pic as well :)

Here is my Neon Birdsnest I picked up at a LFS, it looks great under any type of lighting and looks exactly how I pictured it in person.

Those are two different species of Seriatopora. The first is more of a Seriatopora guttatus and the second is a Seriatopora hystrix.
The hystrix has the more pointed tips.
The clear fact about the original enchanted forest Birdsnest is that it has the lime body of a bird of paradise but the neon green polyps of a caliendrum.
