It needs some iodine suplement, meddium to high light, and a nice flow, not too strong. They don't ship well and cultured is best.

I'd like to see it too! Xenia is one of my favorite corals, but I've never seen blue...

I have some Xenia, currently growing pretty ok, I guess, its under vho lights. I am wondering if I need stronger light to speed up the growth. My VHO is 5 feet, and I have 2 white vhos and 2 blue. I tried a few other xenia, not doing so well, but the one that is growing fast, is the hand coral xenia, grown at a local fish store.

BLue xenia.... http://www.petsolutions.com/404.aspx..._Blue+Xenia_E_
Though I thinks its more the lighting than anything. Xenia is about as easy as it gets in reef tanks. It does well under PC lighitng. I keep mine under VHO but recently had to switch due to an equipment malfunction.
