    Abstract

    Xenia elongata has unbranched stalks that are long, thick and smooth, from which the polyps arise. The stalks of this species can grow up to 3 inches in length. The stalk has a group of feathery polyps at the end, with each polyp situated on a 1 inch to 2 inch long stem. The polyps open and close in a pulsing motion, hence the common name of pulse corals. The corals growing in good lighted conditions are lighter coloured and stockier compared to ones growing in less lighted conditions.
