Anyone have, or seen anything like this? I just bought this one. I'm pretty excited to see it in person.

I also have a sweet orange, green, and purple bubble tip anemone coming. I've been looking for a different colored one for a while now. I love the diver's den.

Yeah I have a few colonies of it. It actually was one of my first frags. I think I got it for like $15 at Aquarium. It grows like a weed, I have to trim it every so often. Now i found out it's pretty expensive. Adams been after a colony for a while (just when I trim I can't seem to get attached to a rock).
Cool coral - enjoy!
That nem sounds amazing!

It frags it's self pretty well. I just had a hard time cutting and getting it to attach. On it's own it did a great job of that. Hard to kill! I can't find any decent pictures. Maybe I will try the cell. The purple tint is cool and it doesn't pulse so thats neat.

Place a small piece of LR or two next to it, so it's touching. Use an elastic if needed. It may take a while to grow onto the new rock(s). Cut between the rocks and it's done. Let it heal for a few days. If the Cespitularia does not attach, switch to a different rock, even a different kind of rock.
