Pink Birdsnest color variations

[msaba]

I was looking to get a colony of the pink Seriatopora hystrix and was wondering are there significant/more desirable variations in the pink tones or are they all very similar? thanks

depending on where you get it from "pink" can have a lot of different shades it can even be a purple polyped bleached or discolored acro that looks pink. I bought several birdsnests that looked pink and turned green based with purple polyps like a tubbs. Buying an aquacutlured or tank grown coral will save you this trouble and get you a hardier specimen.
