The Umi blue is really nice. I think Rich got some right before his mishap

 

[Lyn]

I guess you need to get some and grow it out for DBTC Phong. ;D

 

[GreshamH]

He'll be selling at RAP, IMAC West, Socal CFM, MAX, what not a better chance to catch a trade show/frag swap and get a killer coral from a true coral farmer. His operation is top notch and he's a cool guy as well

Cool, I know blue cespitularia isn't really that blue (its blue when you take a picture with a flash). Its this stuff a lot bluer?

 

[GreshamH]

This is not cespit. It's truly that blue, ask Rich. I was B L O W N away how blue it was. A truly insane softy and a must have IMO. FWIW it's named after his daughter IIRC, like Greg and Jada

 

[GreshamH]

FWIW I thought it was cespit. the first I heard about it but when I looked at it I knew it wasn't.

 

[iani]

Cool, sounds like something we need up here. How invasive is it though? More like regular xenia or like cespitularia.

 

[GreshamH]

slow grower for sure

 

[glee]

does this blue xenia pulse?

 

[bluenassarius]

cool softie. does anybody remember the xenia from the BAR swaps a few yrs back. it had a huge trunk. the owner said it would grow well then he would lose the majority of it.

I think you remember wrong. That happened once IIRC but most don't have that happen to them. Your speaking of Jeff who seems to have disappeared. That xenia is nationally available if you look for it It is one of the only ones I've seen grow just fine with SPS>

Glee, I do not think it pulses otherwise it would most likely be noted within the name

 

[iani]

For me the cespitularia does that. If I move it to an area that is different in flow, a lot of times it lasts maybe a week then completly dissapears.

 

[GreshamH]

Most xeniads do that It's one reason why the ocean isn't all xenia and why the large palm tree one is so cool

 

[bluenassarius]

gresh, do you know jeff's handle? i want to see if he has any of those left.

 

[GreshamH]

Ah crap...Reefkeeper1? I don't think he's on BAR, he was a SEABAY member. I haven't seen a post from him in a long time. I may have an email from him stored, let me see later

 

[GreshamH]

I lost mine. I got it at a SEABAY frag swap held in a park. The thing even though in a color got cooked, like all my other frags I hate outdoor frag swaps, it's just a bad idea.

 

[bluenassarius]

i remember the seabay frag swap.i won the grand prize which was the etss skimmer and pump..

 

[glee]

the thing that brought so much attention and interest from family and friends to my pink xenia in previous tanks was their ability to pulse/pump rapidly. if this blue xenia pulsed, that would have been an amazing combo.
