That's why I separated my rufilata, formosa and subfusca communals. After my striata communal went south quickly, I just couldn't risk losing any more spiders, especially not those species. I was also a huge believer in communal enclosures, but now after trying pokies for a few years communally, I have definately changed my view. These are tolerant at best, and they can turn on each other with no real notice. Just not worth it for me to pull pieces of spiders and loose legs out of enclosures if I don't have to. Obviously it is your choice, and it could go either way, but just prepare yourself to possibly lose some spiders.
