Purple Asterospicularia and Red Tip Tree Coral (Stereonephthya sp.)

[FTDelta]

I've been looking everywhere to find out more about these corals (growth, maximum size, etc...)

I understand Asterospicularia are similar to Xenias(?) while Red Tip tree coral are similar to
Kenya tree coral(?).

I'd love to see any pics of either corals you may have in your own aquarium. It would be a treat to see just to get an idea what they look like fully matured. Any additional/interesting info would be helpful as well. Thanks.

I saw them on that site. My question regards more in depth of the coral species. I did see they have the Purple Tree coral. Even that looks gorgeous.

I bought an aquacultured Asterospicularia from LiveAquaria back in early August. It came as two teeny, tiny stalks on a large square frag plug. It's probably quadrupled in size so far, but it's still pretty small. I haven't seen an example of a fully matured colony yet. It does seem to grow like Xenia, so basically it grows out rather than up. It does branch, however, so I expect it to grow upwards as the branches mature. I still have it on the frag plug because until I know how it's going to grow I can't be sure how best to mount it.

Sorry to dig this thread up but like like you said an example of a fully matured colony is hard to find. Do you have one?
