Colours of sps differ from tank to tank due to types / colour of lights and other factors such as additives, parameters. White tips can be due to growth or bleaching but looks like new growth to me. Pink body with green tips birdnest = bird of paradise

Agreed with what sis belle said, also based on experience, that birdnest youre having its called bi-colour birdnest. Its a good sps for using it as your water indicator. EXCELLENT water params and nutrient levels , pinkish purple body with blueish/ purple tips. SLIGHTLY POORER water quality, its body remains same colour but polyps turns green. But it will change between the 2 i stated . Affects varies on indivisualist water params from time to time. Hope that helps. Just my 2 cents.

Tank Size: 3x1.5x2

Btw attached is the same piece of birdnest that youve posted.

When given the required params, not to forget most favourable params , Lightings and spot , this is the outcome.

HAPPY REEFING SIS!

Just my 2 cents..

The blue forms of M. digitata seems to prefer more light than the other colours. Also, current plays a role in the branching development. Given a chance, it will grow into dense thickets which fish, such as Anthias, love!
