It is, unfortunately, my mom’s favorite coral. She doesn’t care about the SPS, just sinularia and Xenia. She managed to get a frag of it for free, and showed it to me. It’s currently in my refugium growing rapidly, and I’m praying it never makes it up to the DT
Kinda interesting that most people don’t know of Bali Giant Xenia which only grows in a single thick stock that doesn’t spread around the tank at all - you basically get a Pom Pom style Xenia tree structure in your tank. One of my personal favorite corals. The more you know 😎
Xenia elongata is one of my favourites. The compact size is nice for smaller aquariums. My current experiment in a UNS 45s is a war between Xenia and Ricordia neon. Should be fun to see
Ugh I heard pocillapora and got a sick feeling lol. Totally took over my last tank. Xenia does go out of control but I found them fairly easy to just rip off rock I didn’t want them on. Your right about using tweezers.
I use these in my refugium as another nutrient control method along with macro algae. You definitely have to ensure there is a barrier for preventing them from getting back into your return chamber, but its really a good way to contol No and Po beacuse of how fast they grow. I also have come to realize that when they arent pulsing, its a sign your iron is very low.
I love pulsing Xenia. They are so cool to watch. However, I had to get rid of mine. They are weeds. I had it isolated on a rock, but it didn't stay isolated
They have a place. I've seen cool tanks with xenia. But after all the xenia horror stories I went with clove polyps instead. Still fast growing and pretty.
I have some who has yellow and rainbow polyps for sale and also pulsing xenias, I’m new to the hobby, I might get the cloves, maybe xenias isn’t a good idea, I don’t want it to take over
It's like a Sirens call so mesmerising and beautiful but to heed it's call leads to no good in the end ...and oh the smell when dealing with it that sickly sweet disturbing smell...it's been 15 years since my last Xenia relapse and even today that smell still haunts me 🤢
I watched a video and it looks easy to control. I'm going to get one and see if I can control it. They are my favorite looking coral. So I'll see if I can control it. Hope I'm lucky! 😅
Is gsp like pulsing xenia as well, just like a weed and can take over? I have someone selling clove polyps and pulsing xenias and he wants to give me gsp but I don’t want it to be like a invasive weed as well? New to the hobby so that’s for your help
Lol im a new reefer so it a giving that I love them. I just bought a biocibe 16 and im going to just put 2 clowns a clean up crew and nothing else but pulsing xenia
I don’t know what the hell to do… my tank is engulfed with them and now slowly approaching some expensive corals and they are starting to spread to each rock.. I don’t know what to do.. my nitrates are zero my tank levels are great and stable and I feel they are very beneficial to tanks if they can be controlled somewhere in the tank separately .. help!
I tried it in 2 tanks and promised myself I'll keep an eye on it and it just shrank and melted away. I have a 3rd tank that has a bubble tip green sinularia and and pulsing xenia. The xenia took off quickly and has now slowed down but the problem I have is the sinularia buds bits off all the time and that seems to be getting everywhere way more invasive.
I think Xenia is a great piece to look at and have some in my nano, it has thrown off its first random youngling after filling the rock its on 😅 however my personal most hated coral is Kenya tree! 😐😂
Pulsing Xenia is a pest. I had it in my 125 reef aquarium. It spreads quickly. Manually removal and starving the tank was the only way that I was able to get rid of it.
if you have an "issue" removing xenia from the tank you aren't capable of running a tank. You shut a tank down "cause of xenia"? Dude, can you feed yourself?

They are a great coral, say whatever you want... If you show a non-reef keeper this coral they are mesmerised.
100% just bought a frag 10 hours ago lol

Does it pulse I’ve been looking for coral that creates movement

Could you make a video about your tank
Ugh I heard pocillapora and got a sick feeling lol. Totally took over my last tank. Xenia does go out of control but I found them fairly easy to just rip off rock I didn’t want them on. Your right about using tweezers.
It's my favorite plague coral. I started a 13g ultra rock flower garden with pulsing xenia and capt. jerk palys for contrast

When I was a beginner I loved it. Now as an expert don’t want it at all it takes over anything
I love them I have an pico Xenia only tank. It's so beautiful I can watch it for hours
Been in the hobby since i was a teenager. Pulsing xenias are always my top favorite.
I gone diving and seen joke a huge colony’s of sps corals like stag horn corals like 6 feet wide and 8-9 feet high. I couldn’t believe
I love pulsing Xenia. They are so cool to watch. However, I had to get rid of mine. They are weeds. I had it isolated on a rock, but it didn't stay isolated
I couldn't grow xenia, my powder blue tang took a liking to it and wiped out my colony in days.

Aiptasia is Chaotic Evil while Xenia is Chaotic Neutral
Perfectly said
Feel like a master and get the headache later is where I'm at oh no
the only time i couldn't grow it was after dosing vibrant, make sense now that we know what's in the stuff
Tell me more about your Vibrant experiences.
I like xena... Im trying to get it on the back wall of my fluval evo aio
It's like a Sirens call so mesmerising and beautiful but to heed it's call leads to no good in the end
...and oh the smell when dealing with it that sickly sweet disturbing smell...it's been 15 years since my last Xenia relapse and even today that smell still haunts me 🤢

xenia is great where its the only coral lol, one of my fav corals but it takes over quickly
Is gsp like pulsing xenia as well, just like a weed and can take over? I have someone selling clove polyps and pulsing xenias and he wants to give me gsp but I don’t want it to be like a invasive weed as well? New to the hobby so that’s for your help
Lol im a new reefer so it a giving that I love them. I just bought a biocibe 16 and im going to just put 2 clowns a clean up crew and nothing else but pulsing xenia
Is it edible?
I don’t know what the hell to do… my tank is engulfed with them and now slowly approaching some expensive corals and they are starting to spread to each rock.. I don’t know what to do.. my nitrates are zero my tank levels are great and stable and I feel they are very beneficial to tanks if they can be controlled somewhere in the tank separately .. help!
Is that a shy hamlet in your tank!?
I love the looks and actions.
I have them in the drop off area of my drop off tank,way down there..they look beautiful ...they'll never make it to the top leval area...
I tried it in 2 tanks and promised myself I'll keep an eye on it and it just shrank and melted away. I have a 3rd tank that has a bubble tip green sinularia and and pulsing xenia. The xenia took off quickly and has now slowed down but the problem I have is the sinularia buds bits off all the time and that seems to be getting everywhere way more invasive.
And I can't even keep mine alive or thriving so weird
I had it. It just closed up and vanished after months
I want them 😂❤️😍
I think Xenia is a great piece to look at and have some in my nano, it has thrown off its first random youngling after filling the rock its on 😅 however my personal most hated coral is Kenya tree! 😐😂
My Birdsnests and Monti caps grow much much faster than my Xenia 😂
You can sell all the excess corals . Easy money
Yup... I killed xenia frags in my sps dominated tank. Twice. I felt so bad and didn't try it for the third time.
@jessica carol what the...?
New research shows that xenia pulses to get a better photosynthesis
This is gonna be good, I despise it.
6 attempts and always died on me LUCKY ME 😁
I am having a serious problem with Xenia
Mine are taking forever to grow 😢😁
Pulsing Xenia is a pest. I had it in my 125 reef aquarium. It spreads quickly. Manually removal and starving the tank was the only way that I was able to get rid of it.
My answer, no!
My Xenia died 😞🤷🏼♀️😂
Strange description of herpes for a coral description
Lmao
if you have an "issue" removing xenia from the tank you aren't capable of running a tank.
You shut a tank down "cause of xenia"? Dude, can you feed yourself?
Shall we check to see which one of us has a very successful coral farm… you go first…
@@PrestigeReef nah, I mean, if that was the case you wouldn't be crying about it in the comments on one of your own videos lol
Yeah, I agree with you… it’s probably best you don’t check 😂
Cool but then not….😂
