Cespitularia is a soft coral from the Xenia family. This genus often causes confusion with other tree soft corals, so that it is also often found in the trade under other names. Their distribution covers the Indian and Pacific Ocean from the African coast to Australia.
The special thing about Cespitularia erecta is mainly its coloration - this is often blue or purple iridescent-iridescent, which makes these corals unique.
Important for the growth and coloration of Cespitularia is an adequate supply of iodine and other halogens, which should be added with a high-quality trace element mixture. Cespitularia erecta is difficult to propagate because it is hard to attach - it is best to place frag rocks on the side, wait until they become overgrown, and then disconnect them from the mother colony.
