Guys, I have had some of this for a few weeks now. I have been keeping it separate on the sandbed and it is growing well, but I was wondering if anyone has seen how this interacts with other corals? Is it aggressive like GSP, or is it wimpy like blue clove polyps. I'm wondering if this will grow over other corals like GSP can, or is it better behaved?

Don't know if I should let it onto my reef structure or not.

I am not 100 percent sure but I think it isn't very aggressive as in killing other corals but I think it spreads like a weed.

Per the Reefbuilders article, it's related to xenia so I would say not aggressive.

Then at least I have it in the right type tank (mixed reef). MY SPS tank kills Xenia quick, I assume r/t the low nutrient levels.

I have really been thinking of getting some also. Aquaworld, a sponsor on here, is local and they have a rock fs in one of there tanks with it on it. It would be going in a mixed reef also.

Got any pics of it. The one they have is blue.

Mine is Green/blue, and I bought mine from Rit Aquatics. Local to me in Atlanta, and a R2R Sponsor as well. I'll post a pic in a while.

I have the same kind. I have a small frag. It does grow quickly and I have had it next to other zoas, sps on the frag rack and it does fine.

Look what I found online: this is a Sympodium Eating Nudibranch. Story on it is at the URL on the pic.

Mine is brushing up against polyps and sps and there has been no issue with it stinging anything.
