About this item
Silver Pulsing Xenia
Silver Pulsing Xenia (Xenia sp.) is a soft coral prized for its silver-lavender coloration and mesmerizing pulsing behavior. Its delicate, feathery polyps extend outward in star-like formations, creating a soft, shimmering appearance that adds motion and life to reef aquariums.
This species is well known for its rhythmic pulsing motion, where individual polyps open and close in a natural, continuous flow. As it grows, it forms branching clusters that gently sway in the current while also helping to absorb dissolved nutrients, making it both visually appealing and functionally beneficial in established reef systems.
Available Options
