Have to much of this stuff and am about to trim it up. If anyone wants any please come and get it.

In the picture is a Tonga branch about 6"-7" long covered with anthellia, not sure thats spelled right and a patch of green star polyps. Its at least 12" long counting the xenias length and starting to grow across the sand bed. Its a shame to have to chop this colony up so if anyone wants the whole rock just the way it is and has a nice size piece of live rock and wants to swap that works to.

If nobody wants it or any piece of it its getting pulled and cleaned.
Not a hard thing to do by the way. Comes off in a mat if you do it right. Can be removed from the rock in the tank fairly easy.

My clown is hosting in it but he will get over it. He has another chunk of it thats staying at least for a little while.

not that it matters, but isnt that anthelia?

yup it is, thats what i called it in the first post. there is a small patch of elongata as well on the rock to but it cant be seen in the pic and is getting shaded out by the antheiia. I always considered anthelia to be a xenia...I could be wrong.
 
Anthelia glauca is in the xeniid family. Its one of several non pulsing varieties. If one keeps it confined to a rock "island" on the substrate it can be easily controlled and adds beauty and movement to any tank.
 
I thought it was Jerry but I wouldnt have bet money on it. And yes its on a rock island. well piece of tonga branch. Not much of an island :). I think Jeremy is taking the whole piece but there is plenty more if anyone wants any..no charge got plenty to go around. Its in my refuge growing from the last time I trimmed it back. This time tho I desided I didnt want so much in my display so the "island" is going to a new home.
 
Not to undermine Ryans thread, but I also usually have free anthelia, xenia elongata and kenya tree corals for those residing in the tri-cities area.
