I think these are Pulsing Xenia, they were attached to the foot of my leather toadstool when I bought it, is there a way I can cut them off to place them somewhere else.






It looks like no one responded to your question, so I'm giving it a :bump:
I don't have much experience w/soft corals, so hopefully someone else will come around and share their thoughts on how to frag this.

Nice lighting and tank Stuart, I think you have Xenia and yes they will flourish, you can grow them on the inside of a toilet. Just be aware, once they take off the will grow everywhere and the can be difficult to cull. Might be a good idea to keep them isolated on a rock by themselves. Green star polyps are similar....... But they sure are cool, look awesome waving in the current, I am with ya there :winky:. I would not be the first to admit, I have had em and then months later said oh $#&* and took em out. Here's a link for ya.
