Post Pics of Pulsing Sinularia??

mbunaman · 05/11/2006, 10:56 PM

If you have Pulsing Sinularia post some pics I would love to see how these look.

ACBlinky · 05/15/2006, 06:56 PM

I've never heard of a pulsing sinularia... TMK no leathers 'pulse', but hey - I learn something every day and could be wrong! Do you mean Xenia?

tekknoschtev · 05/15/2006, 07:40 PM

Thats my pulsing sinularia. Thats back from the beginning from April, and it has grown considerably since then. I don't see it pulse much in the 150, but it definately does. But in the fuge (2x 95W VHOs) and in the frag tank (2x 96W PC) I see it pulsing more frequently.

Recently there were some frags available in the selling forum.

I have two (sorry, no pictures)
they pulse quite a bit in low flow, not so much when the pumps are on.

Interesting...

Interested in seeing the yellow color morph ... never seen it before.

cwegescheide · 06/14/2006, 09:27 PM

Here's mine. I've had it about a year and a half. One of my favorite softies. Its about the size of a softball. I've got A LOT of flow in my tank so I've really never witnessed it pulse.

reefnewbie54321 · 06/15/2006, 07:37 PM

Does it pulse when it is stressed or something? Or is low flow favorable for this coral

Freed · 06/15/2006, 07:44 PM

Those are mine in that link. I still have bunches of them. They do pulse when they are stressed or shadowed and then they also pulse for no reason I can notice. They don't pulse like a xenia does though. All the polyps will close at the same time and then within seconds they will open back up. Then close on que, open at various times. Mine are pink with green polyps under actinics and then a washed out yellow/tan under MH, which is too strong for mine.

tekknoschtev · 06/15/2006, 08:03 PM

The picture I posted above was from early april, this was taken today, mid June. It sits almost directly underneath a 400W halide and as Freed said, I've seen it pulse and when it does, its all of the polyps - or at least all in a large region of the coral, that close and then open, as if on que.

cwegescheide · 06/15/2006, 08:50 PM

Yes I got mine from Freed.. Good guy..

guswolfe · 06/15/2006, 09:47 PM

Does it come in different Colors ? Not that it has to its cool just the way it is !!!!!

reefnewbie54321 · 06/15/2006, 09:52 PM

It looks like it comes in different shades of pink/tan but ut probably depends alot on what lights its under

blide · 06/19/2006, 02:21 PM

My favorite coral....

I've done some research on this coral, but have never found it's scientific name. The coral is a little different than most leathers because it doesn't shed as much. I have only seen mine shed twice and both time were when I moved it around in the tank. So far as feeding I don't spot feed, but I have seen it eat cyclopeze.

I also took some pics back in Sept 2005 to show how the coral opens:

I would love to see some updated pics. I has been like a year, they should be big now. Im about to buy on of these, and would really like see them, and read up on how they live. There is almost no info on the net about them...

WAY back in March of 05, this is the frag we recieved.

And today it looks like this. Mind you, the image is misleading. It is easilly 8-10" in diameter, and equally as tall. It has been fragged numerous times as well.

I tried this weekend to get a video because when I had the flow turned off for the water change - the polyps were really going at it, however my camera isn't fantastic at video and by the time I got the video camera out, they had all receded and the coral scrunched up. I'll try to get one next time I'm home.

scoutmaniak · 04/02/2007, 09:50 PM

Looks great!! I cant wait for mine to get that big, it is only 3 inches now.
