What would you call this? It actually looks turquoise in person.

Dave you don't know xenia's very well, :lol: , once they get going they grow like a weed. Within a couple of months xenia can triple in size.

seacrop sells a blue anthelia frag.... http://seacrop.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=CPRS21&Category_Code=
they used to label it blue xenia, but with since the site upgrade, it's name changed to anthelia
I've seen a guy on nano-reef showing a pic of the piece he bought off of seacrop and it looks pretty blue.

Froggie, I have the blue anthelia you posted a picture of. It is blue but really different than the two I posted.

Your right on the pic. But in person they are blue, they are just very hard to get a picture that shows the true color.

But for a comparison they will never look blue like a blue tort or a clam.

Nope, do you have picture or link?

I can't believe I missed this thread! How the blue doing? My frag is doing great but there's something in my tank nipping at the polyps! I'll have to find the culprit very soon.

 

[ShaunW]

Good, it is coming along very well. Also the turquoise xenia has spread and increased in size. Peter, do you have the links to the threads on RC about blue xenias?

 

[ulmo]

Shaun,

Not sure if this is the RC thread you are looking for:

I think there was another blue xenia link, but I can't find it. I hope this helps.

Hmmm
just looked up the Blue Anthelia link. This is what I have Shaun. Darn.... thought it was a blue xenia (sansiba) variety...
I guess blue anthelia is pretty common???
