SRC Member anakjoh Posted December 27, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 27, 2003 Don't know how many species there are or their names - must be hundreds of em. But one thing i know, the tentacles grow really long about 1-2 inches! if the temp's ~ 25C. I was told by an etablished LFS that had samples in a display tank to prove it.

SRC Member Matt06 Posted December 28, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 28, 2003 Ya, Xeniids(also known better as Pulse Corals) are very super hard to keep, even for experienced hobbyists. Only those with advanced aquarium technology should attempt to keep them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member ryz Posted December 31, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 31, 2003 corals of genus Xenidae(xenias) are difficult to acclimate to your tank. But once properly adapted, it is a very hardy coral. even dead parts can rebud and grow again. star polyps are of gennus clavularia or pachyclavularia. not same as xenia but is a relative.
