Our stock includes True Blue African Xenia, Giant Bali Xenia, Green Clove Polyps, Sympodium, Green Nepthea and more. Frags are getting ready to go, feel free to contact us in the meantime @ igrowcorals@yahoo.com.

I recently acquired this incredible coral. The blue and green sympodium.
It is very rarely imported, especially ones this colorful. The sympodium is said to be an undemanding , easy to keep soft coral. It is closely related to xenia but it does not pulse.
It is also much hardier than xenia.
The growth form is encrusting and they have a brilliant blue stalk with green polyps.
This coral will be under TLC at least for 6 months before we try to frag it.

We p/u this beauty at one of the frag swap over a year ago. It was about a quarter size when we first got it.We will be making frags soon.

We will have some of these beauties for the CT and MR frags swaps.

We are getting ready for the NJ Frag Swap event. Here is a photo of the Giant Cespitularia frag. Enjoy.
