Cespitularia infirmata

Cespitularia infirmata, commonly known as the Blue Xenia or Blue Cespitularia, is a beautiful soft coral prized for its feathery polyps and distinctive iridescent blue to lavender coloration. Colonies form branching stalks topped with delicate polyps that sway gracefully in the current, creating constant movement and a shimmering appearance under reef lighting. Its unique metallic sheen makes it a standout addition to any reef aquarium.

Care in Aquariums:
• Lighting: Moderate to high
• Flow: Moderate, indirect
• Placement: Mid to upper rockwork; allow room for colony expansion
• Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic but may benefit from occasional phytoplankton or fine particulate coral foods
