Hey everyone,

I had to reduce the image quality quite a bit to upload this but I hope it's good enough.
I've searched the internet but I just haven't been able to find out what this is. The big one there has little tentacles half an inch long with little bumps along each one. The tentacles wrap up in a little ball at night and the stem shrinks to about half its size. These came on the live rock I purchased from my LFS and have managed to hang on even though I'm only 2 1/2 weeks into my cycle. They're actually growing in size so maybe I'm doing something right? They aren't very attractive and I'm not sure if I should hang on to them or get rid of them? Any information and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

After googling "Xenia" my is it ever unhappy. It's rather beautiful when it's happy. I wasn't intending on having any coral when I'm this new to the hobby. Seems a shame to let it die though. I'm going to do some research and see what needs to be done to make them happy. Thanks for the ID!

I did some quick research and I think the obvious reason they're doing so poorly is my lighting. I only have the stock led light that came with the tank. I'm cycling so I haven't bought a decent light yet. Looks like I'm shelling out another big chunk of cash haha!
