I used to have pom pom xenia..it was as big as a broccoli. It gets a very nice blue hue to it, and it does pulse.

Here are the ones I have, they are defianely brocolli shaped, almost impossible to frag imho in fact I got mine to expand on accident (crush you xenia watch it spread) that is why some of them are connected and they aren't all just brocolli trees you can see by the far right one what it looks like (it is getting some pretty high flow so keep that in mind)
Flash on, hence the bad color but I think you get more of the general shape

Flash off they are kind of a white blue in color, I think my camera is pulling some color off of the coraline back wall of my tank

Just another pic with flash off you can see what they look like best by the far right one, I think I have like 5 heads. My original one was pretty damn big but since I smashed it and it created 5 of itself they are still growing

What you are talking about sounds a lot like what mine looked like, mine are just small currently.

No yours is definetly not it!! yours is really nice but i can tell!! if you look at the polyps in the pic on my posts there really feathery!! i dont think many people have it anymore!! but trust me if you saw it you will want it!!

could it be pom-pom just keep under different conditions? gwrench has the pom and his has very feather like edges. xenia in his tanks go wild. the elongota that he has pulses faster the pom sometimes. just wondering. i will look more on line to see what i can find

Well, I wouldn't want it either way But the stalk is very thick like he mentioned. Most people have the small version. If you search the selling forums, I believe someone has it labeled as the large pom pom xenia. The stalks are really really fat. I'm not talking about a stalk with 4 branches tied into one. This is a SINGLE stalk. It almost looks like the stalk of a leather coral.

I don't think anyone here has it. Check the propogation forum. It ships fairly well.

This was you're looking for?
Sorry for the crappy pic- my regular camera had a little run-in with the floor and I had to use my cel-phone.
This is about 6-8" tall, the main stalk is about 2" around, and it's about 3 years old. It's essentially stayed put during that time (while I've had to pull buckets of the elongata) and only made a few little ones. You can see the candy canes in the foreground and green slimer in the background to get a rough size comparison.
