Figster Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Looks like waving hand coral to me (anthelia coral). Once you have your lighting good this will take over your tank. Link to comment

Boggers Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 It is Anthelia, and mine look very similar. the stocks of the coral should thicken up a bit when happy, but they can take on the appearance they are reaching when the are in a good amount of flow...My like the heavy flow so not really an issue, just FYI.

Jorge091293 Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Thanks what about the lighting that I have will it help it out and I heard they don't like clean water so means I shouldn't do my mph water changes Thanks ? Guys for the replies this is better than research Link to comment
Clown79 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Xenia don't like dirty water. Don't skimp on waterchanges. I have 5 nitrates and my xenia are fully blooming. If you have the stock biocube, the lights that cane with the tank are enough for xenia but xenia does enjoy light. Link to comment
