Blue Cespitularia

[naka]

I'm thinking of purchasing these blue cespitularia for my sps dominated tank from a reputable dealer. Anyone have any experience w/ these type of xenia? I'm thinking bottom of my tank w/ good flow just like any other xenia.

Thanks,

James

I have some, they grow much slower than other Xenidids. They seem to be less tolerant of poor water conditions and are very sensitive to other coral in the tank. Besides this, I give them the same flow and lighting as other xenias.

will the Blue Cespitularia do well in low nutrient tanks? im asking becuase altho i know they arent xenia.. but xenia dont seem to fare well in nutrient poor tanks.. is this the case with blue cespitularia or is a low nutrient sps tank alright for these guys?
