I have one of those, except mine is about 1/16 that size(got it real cheep) and mine looks like its dieing Its alot smaller then it used to be and it doesn't come out fully anymore.

Looks good Kickster. My polyps are doing great. Give them a little while and they will be pulsing like nuts. Good luck, Blake.

Looks good. I got some about 2 weeks ago... a very mesmerizing(sp?) coral to watch.

i have some too. they dont seem to like as much light as the xenia elongata i have. i had them in about the exact same lighting and the pom pom started to shrivel up. i moved it a bit lower and it is making a strong comeback now.

I have regular pulsing xenias. But aren't all types of xenias beautiful!! Yours are really nice!!

I got some xenia about six months ago. Cool but a pain in the rear. It has spread and devided more than anything I have seen. A small piece (one head) is now about twenty times larger. It also likes to move around. I has moved to the highest light and highest current. It is right at the top of my tank in direct current. I put it at the bottom. It also has been moving onto my montipora. Just this weekend I had cut it off of the mont, and drop it on one side that is void of any good activity. Hopefully it will stay there.

thanks guys
bdub- so they are doing well - thats good- if you can turn your actinics on and the other lights off for a while they really glow - that capnella coral is one of my favorite- grows well and is a good coral to have- sometimes it changes color- beige one day- green the next
the orange ones on the seperate rock with the grey centers are about my favorite- i dont see them often- if you look close- they have a yellow mouth- i have had my zoos for about 3 weeks now and it is easy to see where they are splitting as starting new polyps- good luck
