Birds nest

[meowzer]

OK, any recommendations or opinions on this one?
I read somewhere they are aggressive??? Meaning what?

I guess they grow fast?

birdsnest aggressive? not at all. depending on which species, some can grow quite fast.

I'd like something that actually grows fast....But on a search under the description it listed aggressive...didn't know why cause I did not see that anywhere else.
thanks

they r not aggresive at all. i hv mine growing next to a staghorn and acro, and the birdsnest seems to be on the losing end. the think-branch variety is less fragile.
the thin-branch birdnest:

the think-branch one is at the top right corner:

I dont know about aggression but some definately grow faster than others. there are quite a few different ones out there:
Seriatopora hystrix (what typically comes to mind when someone refers to birdsnest)
Seriatopora guttatus (ORA green, bird of paradise or Dr F&S orange guttatus)
Seriatopora stellata (thick branch. I've had this. grows slower than the other birdsnest)
Seriatopora caliendrum (another thick branch variation).
