  A Wave of Xenias - Soft Coral
  Family/Genus/Species:
Nephtheidae/Xenia/Xenia spp.
Origin:
Red Sea/Indo/West Pacific Ocean
  Feeding:
Phytoplankton, Marine Algae
Lighting:
Low to Medium
  Water Flow:
Low to Medium
Ease of Care:
Very difficult
  Special Requirements and Information:
Xenia corals are the original "waving corals".  With a reasonable water flow they'll continue to move and capture their food throughout the day. Keep them in the middle of the tank and away from other corals.
Feed often as they are not photosynthetic and require food in the water column. The best food is live phytoplankton but can be trained to eat frozen.
Will be difficult to keep if you have a high powered protein skimmer.
