About this item

Ruby Pulsing Xenia

Ruby Pulsing Xenia (Xenia sp.) is a soft coral prized for its rich ruby-red to pink coloration and captivating pulsing behavior. Its feathery polyps extend into intricate, star-like formations, creating a bold, glowing appearance that adds both color and movement to reef aquariums.

This species is known for its rhythmic pulsing motion, where individual polyps open and close in a continuous, flowing pattern. As it grows, it forms branching clusters that gently sway in the current while also helping to absorb dissolved nutrients, making it both visually dynamic and functionally beneficial in established reef systems.

Available Options

Single Colony

  • One established xenia colony attached to rock or frag base
  • Displays active pulsing behavior and natural movement
  • Ideal for reef and macroalgae aquascapes

Special Considerations

Xenia are known for their rapid growth and ability to spread across rockwork. Placement on isolated structures is recommended to manage expansion. Stable water parameters and moderate nutrient levels support consistent pulsing behavior. Sudden changes in flow, lighting, or chemistry may cause temporary reduction in pulsing or retraction.

🌱 Propagation

Ruby Pulsing Xenia propagates readily through natural fragmentation and colony expansion:

  • Colonies spread by extending tissue across nearby surfaces
  • Fragments can detach and reattach to form new colonies
  • Propagation commonly occurs in aquarium systems
