great write up on birdsnest, I have a about a 2" piece that i got from a fellow reefer (thanks Doug and Brenda) back in November and i have noticed a significant growth from it. I have mine in a low flow area, would it do even better?
Also can you comment on how flow effects the growth of the coral? I have heard that grown in a lower flow area, the branches will be thinner than one grown in a higher flow area. Anyone noticed this?
Also good tip about the points and nitrates in the water
here is a pic of mine, i know its not a great pic, but i like posting pics

Yours looks nice and healthy with good polyp extension. The general rule is that frail corals like less flow and beefier corals can take a pounding. At the same time, this coral will do well in medium flow, keeping it cleaned out of any trapped debris.
I just got a pink frag last week I love that yellow one ,I'm going to try and get one of those:drool:
wow nice frag snake, I have a pink frag that has grown considerably i will post pics of a little over a months growth. it is very close to the top under 150w metal halide. medium flow.
