Xenia is a genus of soft corals known for its unique pulsing movement, which is thought to aid in water circulation and gas exchange. These corals are popular in the reefkeeping hobby due to their ease of care and rapid growth rates. They come in shades of white, pink, and tan and can add dynamic movement to a reef tank. Xenia species are known to thrive in a range of lighting conditions, from moderate to high, and prefer moderate water flow. They can be propagated easily by hobbyists, making them a sustainable choice for aquaculture.
