Re: my first coral!
I went to my lfs today for a few blue legged hermit crabs to munch on some algae. but when i got there i found this beutiful xenia. maybe my percula clowns will host it. any info on xenia corals will be great! this is my first coral. dont think my anemone will bother it. he hasnt moved in two weeks. i fed the coral some phytoplankton and zoo plankton after i got him home. he opened up and ate like crazy and has stayed open since. so maybe he will be happy in his new home

Re: my first coral!
thanks yote. my camera lies a little. he is actually a light green. at least on the tips. his stalk is kinda pinkish. i guess the camera is picking up the blue from the actinics.

Re: my first coral!
Xenias are easy to take care of,They will thrive if have small trace of nitrate.
Just give it decent flow,and moderate light and it'll be fine and grow fast. Current Aquarium(s) Description: 125gal SPS tank in the works Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: 2+ Other Intrests: Hunting,camping,fishing

Re: my first coral!
Looks good. I added 3 colonies of pom pom xenia on a shell about two weeks ago and there doing fine my trates are at 5 ppm. Every thing Ive heard about them say there easy to care for, so good luck with the new corals.

Re: my first coral!
...Explanation for all the head banging: Jelly used to have a nice blue xenia. Until Jerm lost it in a hole in the live rock, it was never to be seen again
