I have some of this xenia in my tank. I bought some live rock from a guy awhile back and this hitch hicked on it. Its NOT elongata.. This xenia is entirely pink and solid pink from stalk to feather... Elongata is pink at the base to the stalks but the feathers are purplish...

 

Can anyone ID this stuff? Iwould love to know what type this is...

Looks like it could be red sea pulsing xenia aka Xenia umbellata to me. Looks like it is reaching for the light, making it skinny and long instead of short and stubbly, almost pom-pom like, as it should be.

NOT umbrellata. If anything, it's elongata.

 

FloorLord, many types of Xenia come from the Red Sea.
