Coral reproduction documented. In the wild, pieces of corals break off during storms and new clones start to grow. My Pulsing Xenia reproduced the same way, except the trigger was a snail instead of a storm.  |
| Day 47 - Pulsing Xenia attached to frag disk. It will eventually attach to the hungry snail in the background. I freed the snail and replaced it with a piece of rubble. The Xenia quickly attached to it. |
 |
| Day 65 - Pulsing Xenia has attached to a piece of rubble. The rubble was not attached to the frag disk and the two will eventually separate. |
 |
| Day 72 - The Xenia was knocked over during the night and it separated from the frag disk. The remaining foot will quickly start to develop into a clone of the original Xenia. |
 |
| Day 77 - Polyps starting to develop |
 |
| Day 83 |
 |
| Day 86 |
 |
| Day 89 - Pulsing and ready to grow to maturity |
