Pulsing Xenia (Heteroxenia fuscescens) is a captivating soft coral that adds a mesmerizing rhythm to marine aquariums. Originally from the Indo Pacific Ocean at depths of up to 30 feet, unlike some corals, Pulsing Xenia doesn’t require direct feeding. It sustains itself through photosynthesis. Its poorly developed digestion system means it relies mainly on nutrients in the water and light for growth.
