A diff color of Xenia?

[sharper]

I've looked all over the net and find different colors of Xenia than mine. I just got this frag as our first coral addition to the tank. This Xenia is purple and green. Is this a normal kind of Xenia? Do anyone else out there have this color?

it looks like the xenia all the stores have around here. it is definately not the blue species of xenia.

because it is slightly shriveled, it's pigmentation will be condensed, thus the slight bluish hue to it. once it acclimates and elongates, it'll be more of a pink/purple coloration.
