Bring soft movement and beautiful cool-toned coloration to your reef with the Blue Xenia Coral. This popular soft coral features delicate polyps that sway with the current, adding movement and texture to the aquarium.

Blue Xenia is a great choice for aquarists looking for a relatively easy-to-care-for soft coral with the potential to grow into an impressive colony under favorable conditions.

This listing is for one Small Blue Xenia Coral frag.

Placement & Growth

Blue Xenia can spread quickly once established in a healthy reef aquarium. Because of its growth potential, consider placing it on an isolated rock or dedicated section of the aquascape where its spread can be controlled.

An isolated Xenia island can create a beautiful display while making it easier to prevent the coral from spreading into areas reserved for other species.

Provide adequate room for future growth and expansion.

Lighting & Water Flow

Blue Xenia generally does well under low to moderate reef lighting.

Provide low to moderate water movement that allows the polyps to move gently without being subjected to strong, direct flow.

Gradual acclimation to your aquarium's lighting and flow conditions is recommended.

Feeding & Nutrition

Blue Xenia receives much of its nutritional needs through photosynthesis and generally does not require direct target feeding.

Maintaining stable water parameters and appropriate nutrient levels is more important than frequent supplemental feeding.

Recommended Water Parameters

Temperature: 75–80°F
Specific Gravity: 1.023–1.026
pH: 8.1–8.4
Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH
Calcium: 400–450 ppm

Stable aquarium conditions are more important than attempting to maintain one exact value within each range.
