Hey guys, I have this isolated rock here which I first had the plan of letting pulsing xenia completely take over, but now I realized that there’s enough room for another coral to fit there. What kind of corals can I place on the same isolated rock as pulsing xenia? I know they compete for space and sting so i’m not 100% sure which kinds I could place here and some help would be great!!!

Anything LPS and SPS can be irritated. So your best choice are softies. Maybe zoas are best to provide a splash of colors that contrast the movement from the xenia.

I think a zoa garden would look good on that rock!
