Just wondering. I had a little frag in my 29 and it pulsed, and then I moved it to my five gallon and it's not doing it as much. Still is, but a lot slower. Is it the lighting, or something else?

lol So I'll throw it back in the bigger tank with higher lighting for awhile, maybe it'll spread a bit. I knwo it spreads like wildfire, but I wouldn't even mind my little 5 gallon being a Xenia forest. Not much else I can keep with that boring 20w light bulb. =P

To answer your question.....nobody knows....not the published experts....not the seasoned hobbyist...nobody.
I had one fellow reefer say whenever his nitrates went up, his would stop pulsing.
That was never the case for me.
I had a small little xenia that flourished and split...etc....then all of a sudden they all crashed.
Everything else in the tank, no issues, just xenia.....yet another mystery with this coral.
Some tanks it takes off...and others it melts away.

Why do Xenia pulse? Because when they are happy...they dance.

Choloroplast, the pigments don't take in the green light from the sun's spectrum and relfect it, which is why they seem green. We JUST had a bio test in that. xD
And yay, dancing corals!

Thats the proper way! haha I learned that in first semester.. never really interested me haha..
SPECTROMETRY! Anthing that shows a colour is because it cant absobe that wavelength of light! And whit elight is caused because no colours are absorbed(I think? Like I said 1st semester
)
