I have some xenia that snuck into my 175g on a powerhead, It's about 8" below a 250w mh light, lots of flow and its growing and pulsing like crazy. I don't think anyone really knows why they pulse or what causes them to stop but I suspect they love a high nutrient tank

I think they are just diffrent types of xenia. I have 2 types, one is more purplish color and does not pulse, it is a pompom xenia. The other is a waving pulsing xenia and it is more pink and sways out extending much longer. It looks liek a mix between the pom pom and the anthelia kind of.
My Anthelia is also long and wavy as well.

Anthelia key to id, always arise directly from the basal encrusting mat.
Xenia typically has a stalk and branches
