Diese LPS wird wie schon beschrieben oft übersehen.
Astrangia poculata ist eine Bonsei-Steinkoralle. Als Vergleich die Sarcothelia edmondsoni. Die blaue Xenia hat heute nach einem halben Jahr die Astrangia komplett umschlossen. Die Haltung dieser Steinkoralle ist sehr einfach. Futter wird nicht extra gereicht.
