About Waving Hand – Blue Xenia
Blue Xenia, the waving hand coral, has feathery polyps on soft stalks that open and close in a constant pulsing rhythm. It grows very quickly and can spread across a tank, so many keepers give it an isolated rock. It prefers some nutrients in the water and may fade in ultra-clean systems.

- Lighting: Moderate – 100 to 200 PAR
- Water flow: Low to moderate flow
- Placement: An isolated rock away from the main reef
- Feeding: Photosynthetic; absorbs dissolved nutrients

Soft corals are forgiving, but stability still matters: aim for 24 to 26°C, salinity 1.025 and nitrate that is low but not zero. Start new arrivals in a lower-light spot and let them adjust for a week or two.
