A lot of people tend to shy away from them because they do need to be fed two-three times a week, but it is no hassle to me, I am feeding the fish, whats another five minutes to feed it?? If it was in one of the big tanks I would have it toward the top for easy access, but in this 37g tall tank it no biggie getting to him, I just shut down the pumps like I always do when I feed and I make sure it gets its share of food also. I alternate between DT's, Formula 1, then 2 and cyclopleeze and just make sure it gets something different, just like I do with all my fish?, so to me its worth it, I like to have orange in a reef tank, and they are about the only thing that can produce that color in a coral that is that bright. (Yes I know linkias(starfish) and zoos can be orange, but not that bright) So to answer its easy to keep to me, just as a fish is

This Xenia is only three months old and I have propagated it four times. No kidding they grow like weeds Between the tanks I have I give away more Xenia than anything, it grows sometimes faster than I can cut it!!! I do like it though, its neat to watch it pulse, gives a tank some different character and motion.
