meh birds nests can be a strange one, mostly because yes they grow like weeds but they will grow out which will start the inner of flow alot of time what i've noticed. but you cant go wrong with monti caps... i have some that there was some aptasia and the monti just grew around it....cant hardly kill it

Most of the monti caps, yellow scroll coral, Nathan's Green Millie, any poci (but they can spread like wild fire), hydnophora (big debate what it really is always comes up but it's easy), orange, green, blue, or purple monti digitas. These are the top ones that I have found are the most tolerant to little chemistry mistakes and most keep their colors the easiest without the need for dosing everything under the sun to get their colors. Just ok to good water parameters required for SPS and you should be fine. Good stuff to wet your beak with if you are afraid to go full on ORA's and ATL's.

Birdsnest can be rather sensitive and not very newby friendly.

I agree that birdsnest are iffy. At least from my experience. Montipora Digitata are easy in my experience!

+1 on Montipora digitata.

IME all monti's are rather easy on the scale of difficult to keep. Throw a couple of encrusting monti's in there and watch how fast they take over the rock.
