Help!! Coral or pest????

[Afaylenerich88]

Need help with if of coral/pest on side of my Xenia.

That's also xenia.

Looks like majano anemone.

some would qualify xenia itself as a pest

That's also xenia.

That’s what I was thinking

It looks nothing like the main colony.so I was confused as to how it got there. It’s more stringy and does not pulse. Like the main Colony.

 

[Afaylenerich88]

Also appears to be pink in coloration and the other one is like a deep purpleish color. So then they should be okay net to one another even tho they are different types of Xenia?

Yes, there are several types of xenia. Theres regular pusling xenia, and there is this type. I have both, they are pretty similar.

Yeah, it’s just a budding Xenia. It won’t pulse much until it’s mature.

This isn't pulsing xenia.

xenia is chill , they don't sting or wage chemical war with others, they just smother everything with sheer quantity
