Yellow Encrusting Xenia (YEX)

[chrisaggie]

I've had an encrusting xenia for a little over a year now. It gets yellow and grows on the slower side. It pulses like any other xenia. I have traded/sold a few frags locally, but have never seen this xenia anywhere online, etc. I realize you all are going to want a pic. I will get one later. Have anyone else ever seen this stuff?

 

[Travis L. Stevens]

Never heard of the stuff. I would definitely like to see a picture.

I have an encrusting Xenia also, mine is pink. depending on it's mood, it's a good pulser.

 

[chrisaggie]

I have seen a few encrusting xenias including pink and blue, but I have never seen another yellow.

Post a pic and if it is nice I'd definately would like a frag. Want to add some yellow to my tank. The yellow colonial anenomes don't "pop".

Please post some pictures! I've never seen yellow xenia.

Are you sure its not YELLOW lights that make the Xenia yellow Chris?

 

[chrisaggie]

Positive. I have been trying to get a good picture without to much luck.

 

[chrisaggie]

Yes, I know...

It could be an Efflatounaria sp.. Does it look like this?

If it does, or if it is an Efflatounaria, please contact me as I've been wanting a frag of it for awhile. In fact, just shoot me a PM when you get a pic. Thanks!

[Voltekker]

[chrisaggie]

I didn't know, but I figured

 

[damitchsta]

no pic yet

 

[chrisaggie]

no pic, the pictures w took last week just didn't capture the colors. I will try again when I get back from MACNA.

 

[damitchsta]

ANY PICS?

 

[chrisaggie]

Here is the best I can do for now. I'm not sure why the yellow is so hard to capture in a picture.

 

[chrisaggie]

maybe I'll try kicking my actinics off and taking a few pics.
