Sympodium

2010-12-16T18:58:00.000-08:00

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.
