    I moved my condy anemone to another tank because it was getting too big. I replaced it with xenia on a nice piece of live rock. I love it.

    Looking good SSDennis

    all being well that will grow and cover the whole rock and beyond eventually

    do those polyps open and close in pulsing type motion when the coral is extended?

    Thank you Steve. They do pulse, it's pretty neat. Check out my thread in clams called new squamosa. I'm so proud of my new clam. Lol

    Looks good. I know some people think of xenia as a weed but I really like it!

    One of my favorite corals, but they don't do well in my tank, Keep it away from the main rockwork or it could take your tank.
