Cespitularia anyone?

[Holy_makerel]

Just ordered one of these and was wondering about peoples experience with this type of softy. Does it take over? Need to be placed on its own island? Whats the scoop?

I've never kept any softies except zoas but i saw this and just had to pick it up. I think its beautiful.

The cespitularia genus is within the xeniidae family so I would stick to all the same Xenia warnings about placing it on an island so it doesn't spread where you don't want it.

I love this coral and get a bunch a free stuff with all my frags....but imo it is much worse than xenia as it puts out this long tongue/ pad that will grow several inches to touch down on another rock/glass. I corral them with rubble and remove frags as needed. Hth.
