About: Xenia (coral)

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Xenia is a genus of photosynthetic soft marine coral in the family Xeniidae. They resemble a mushroom, with "arms" coming out from the top that end in many-fingered "hands". It is unique among corals because of its ability to use its "hands" to "pulse" or push water away from the colony in a constant, grabbing motion. Common names include fast-pulse Xenia. Species of Xenia are sometimes referred to as pulse corals.

  • Xenia ist eine Gattung von Oktokorallen aus den Korallenriffen des tropischen Indopazifik und des Roten Meeres. (de)
  • Xenia es un género de corales de la familia Xeniidae, orden Alcyonacea. Este género de octocorales pertenece a los corales blandos, así denominados porque, al contrario de los corales duros del orden Scleractinia, no generan un esqueleto de carbonato cálcico, por lo que no son generadores de arrecife. Sus nombres comunes son coral pulsante o coral pom pom. (es)
