I've read that the Zoster's tend to favor Xenia more than the Pyramid. I don't know if there is any truth to that.

Dunno. By the time I added the zoster trio, the pyramids had already cleared out all the Xenia (blue clove polyps too).

That is good to know, thanks. As I mentioned I have no factual information since I own neither although I was looking to possibly add both to either help manage or eradicate my Xenia after reading on them :) Although I do have other soft corals so I needed to think on it a bit more.

Still torn between the two noted in this thread or a trio of Milletseed Butterflyfish.

they are Indian Ocean specimens and are hit and miss. This time of year , the Indian Ocean goes through thermoclines and the fish run for deeper water where it is a comfort zone.
