    im am looking to get some pulsing xenia coral and was hoping i could get some information on feeding, and light requirements. Also i've heard they reproduce fast under the right conditions. How far should my coral be from other tank inhabitants?

    Any help would be great!
    Thanks,
    Cerpin

    well, this coral does not require any supplemental feeding other than absorbing supps like iodine and etc...the coral does like the light though it can be placed almost anywhere in the tank...it does not sting at all and should be fine near other corals...but it does grow fast so be careful about that

    Bruce is bang on the money about the feeding and light requirements. Xenia is one of my favorite corals. Its very hardy and fun to watch when its pulsing.
