blue cespitularia question

Cespitularia

Hey Guys,
I was told by a friend to post some pics of my Cespitularia.

I am not a photog, my pics suck actually. This is the E. African species and looks alot nicer than the stuff coming in from Bali, but again these have been propagated for about 4 yrs. now.
 
I will be posting a couple pieces for sale in the next day or so. If you are interested please look for them in the classified section.

My first baby! ;]

If someone will give me some shipping tips I'll sell this one. Its 1-1.5" and growing.
I've shipped my blue encrusting anthelia with success, but not sure if I should ship the cesp the same way.
My mother colonies are getting so big! wow!
 
If they need to be shipped like other Xenia, I've been told that blasting them with a powerhead before putting them in the bag helps. That gets them to secrete some of the mucous so they don't suffocate themselves as quickly. I've not heard of anyone shipping Cespit like this, though. They are nice looking corals:).
 
hmmm

Well my blue encrusting anthelia looks like this:

I've shipped it within FL and also as far as Louisiana with success. I don't see how my cesp should be much harder to ship.

My cesp seems pretty hardy and doesn't get stung by other corals close to it like I've heard can be a problem.
