    If it reqires feeding then mine gets all it needs from the water it is in. I have never fed it and do not plan on it in the future :)

    It absorbs from the water but its tenticles/polyps are for exchange/respiration, so some say. All it needs is the sun and seawater.

    when i had my pom pom i noticed that after feeding the tank phytoplankton, my xenia looked a little healthier. the same thing happened too when i started dosing (and testing) lugol's solution.
