Sparkling Blue Violet Cespitularia

This is a beautiful soft coral with blue/violet stalks and peachy tentacles. Easy to keep in established aquariums with good water chemistry. This coral grows into a large sort of bush shape. It will spread onto your rocks but it's not as invasive as Xenia and much easier to control.

Cespitularia care:

This coral is very similar to xenia in care, it likes medium - high light and moderate flow. It spreads by sprouting out new pieces from itself but this happens slower than with xenia so it is easier to control and won't become a nuisance like xenia can be. It does best in tanks with good water chemistry, if you do not maintain your calcium and alkalinity at normal levels it will not thrive and will tend to whither away. Cespitularia makes a beautiful soft coral in any reef tank. This coral prefers slightly elevated nitrates/phosphates, if you have very low nutrients it may not do well for you.
