Maybe Kiens right, watch this space in the future for a free giant birds nest to a good home

Here's a thought. If you remove something that aggressive and large, how will that have an effect on how much you dose the tank or have to re set a calcium reactor?

I would imagine it would. I bet that thing represents 40% of my Coral mass in my tank. If I take it out then I would definitely be double checking my levels for a while to make sure I could dial my dosing back in

I took this pic today of a client's birdnest. It was a 2" frag less than a year ago. The tank is 18" wide.

my birdsnest was also insane. it didnt fit out the top of my 4x2x2 tank with center brace without breaking brances off. i fragged him down to 'nothing'and hes atleast 7-8 big colonies worth.

That's a 55gal drum its sitting on and that's just what I tossed. I have away a bunch and kept a colony probably 12" x 8" x 4"
