Might for you but not for me. I can't seem to get any xenia to pulse in my tanks.

Have you checked the water quality?

My system is geared towards sps so the water quality is very good.

I find in most SPS tanks xenia can be a challenge. I find that my SPS tank has more flow than Xenia is comfortable with, try a spot where there is a lot less flow. I think Xenia requires a lot more nutrient than a normal SPS tank has.

Also if you have a wavebox hooked up its really hard to get it to pulse, or at least until the waves stop. Some varieties of Pom Poms pulse.

I had xenia pulsing like crazy under a pc light so I doubt thats your issue,I'm no expert but if its in a sps tank it sounds like your flow is too high for it.....or
maybe your light is too intense. Or maybe its being stung by one of your sps at night?
