when i bought this coral i was told it was a xenia but i am not sure. my pulsing xenia closes up into like a ball at night this one seems to shrink into a husk and it looks like it is sheading now. i need to know because it hasnt come out in 3 days. but if it is shedding skin this could be the reason please help

Is it a Clove Polyp (Clavularia)?

i would say it is Briareum sp. i have one in my tank and it stands about 10 inches tall. it will somtimes take brineshrimp it is easy to keep but it does need good lighting.

Apart from the colour, it looks exactly like Giant Anthelia (Anthelia glauca) Mine was a light brown and I've not seen a mauve one but it lookes like that both open and closed.

four t5's should be fine. give it quite good water movement as well and it should be ok.
