The **Pumping Xenia** is a fascinating and highly sought-after coral species. These corals feature a single stalk topped with a large polyp that has eight arms. **Pumping Xenia** are available in a variety of colors, with tan, green, and purple being the most prevalent. Their unique pulsing action brings dynamic movement to any aquarium.

Position your **Pumping Xenia** in the lower to middle sections of your aquarium, ensuring they receive moderate lighting and moderate to high water flow. Monitor them for any signs of stress, and if necessary, adjust their placement slightly to improve their condition.

Known for their peaceful nature, **Pumping Xenia** coexist well with other corals. However, they can spread across rock surfaces, so many aquarists prefer to isolate them on a separate rock to manage their growth.

These corals primarily obtain nutrients through filter feeding and photosynthesis. While they rarely require additional feeding, you can enhance their diet by offering small meaty foods like baby brine shrimp or plankton during the evening.
