Gauging interest - Purple and Sparkling blue cespitularia (xenia)
 

Just wondering if people in the West woud be interested in frags of rare xenids: powder blue anthelia, purple xenia (cespitularia) and sparkling blue xenia (also a cespitularia). I have a few frags going of each, with sample pics below.

All are realatively easy corals to care for - low light requirements (all are grown under 2x 24w T5HO or less of light), low flow and are very beautiful. Under natural sunlight they look better than any other coral for sure, and under higher light they really shine.

Powder blue anthelia (15 - 20 stalks, $25 each):
Under T5's:

Purple xenia (Cespitularia sp.) (1.5 - 2", $40 each), Sparkling blue xenia (Cespitularia sp.) (1 - 1.5", $90 each):

The purple xenia had greyish polyps, and the blue has pink polyps.
Blue cespitularia has calcareous sclerites in the flesh of the coral which reflect light and appear to actually sparkle.

Natural light (Purple and blue):
