Yep, Another Xenia Question

[afmo]

k, my xenia is pink, and when i got it was a small frag. I see little baby xenia shoots on the rock now, but some of them are almost like a maroon color, not pink. what gives? will they change color the bigger they grow?

it could be a completly different species that grew on the rock when it was in the LFS.

so with that in mind, i went over to live aquaria and took a peek at their xenia pics, and my xenia is White pom pom, but the little ones look like silver branch xenia.

Looks like i may have snagged a two-fer

If it turns out that they are two different species, are there any problems with keeping them in that close proximity?

No problem with the proximity. Xenia can grow in a moss-like mat with no problem to neighboring colonies.
