Granted, I am considering splitting up the P ornata communal.

Cameroon Reds (Hysterocrates gigas) x 5 5-7cm together from 10-09-2011
Trinidad Olive (Holothele incei) x 3 mature females a few months
going to put 10 x Pumpkin Patch (Hapalopus formosus) together in a few months :angel: :drunk: :happy:

Pokie communal (fasciata/regalis hybrids)
I have seen some cannibalism, I started with 13 of them, not sure how many is left
I will rehouse them in a couple of days, will update then.
From what I have seen there is one massive female(8-9cm) and a lot of 4-5cm males

H. gigas communal
I had 12 in the communal, I opened it up the other day to find one sling snacking on another and I found one that was all death curled, so the one that was eaten might also have been close to death and the one decided to eat him, who knows
They have all molted and I did not feed them immediately after and that might have triggered some of the first molted to eat some of the last molted, will keep an eye on them and update as the time passes.

H lividum communal
Will be trying this in the next month or so :thumbsup:

Any updates on these communals guys?
I am considering starting 1 of my own and am toying with the idea of either the more common choices of H incei or H gigas, but am also looking into T ockerti. The communal will most likely only comprise of 3 or 4 individuals to start off with as I am looking for a small setup initially.
Any feedback on the current state of the previously documented communals might help me in making a decision.

Currently have the following communals...

P fasciata x4. No mortalities yet.
M balfouri x5. No mortalities yet.
