About this item
Ivory Pulsing Xenia
Ivory Pulsing Xenia (Xenia sp.) is a soft coral prized for its soft ivory white coloration and soothing pulsing behavior. Its delicate, feathery polyps extend into star-like formations, creating a clean, luminous appearance that adds subtle contrast and motion to reef aquariums.
This variety is typically available as a thicker, more established multi-stalk colony, offering immediate fullness and visual impact upon placement. Known for its rhythmic pulsing motion, individual polyps open and close in a continuous, flowing pattern while also helping to absorb dissolved nutrients, making it both calming to observe and beneficial in established reef systems.
