Different types of xenia together?

Right now I have three different types of xenia in my 29 Biocube. One of them doesn't "pump" or "pulse", but rather "waves", one pumps, and one pulses.
I'll be getting an ORA Red Sea pom pom xenia in two weeks and was wondering if the different types of xenia will be okay around each other or will one overtake the other?

We have three different types of Xenia in our 20 gal. long, (pom pom, and two others, one pulses and one waves) and so far so good. I didn't even really think about the possibilty of one taking over the other. We haven't had any issues as of yet, and they aren't placed far from eachother. I will let you know if I notice any hostile takeovers though

What is the difference between pulsing and pumping?
I have 2 different ones in my tank. One has long "fingers" and opens and closes them slowly, it's a brownish, purple color. The other is white/silver and has small "fingers". Because they're so small, you don't notice the pumping motion unless I turn off the powerheads.
