Jason Rhoads April 25, 2013 Share April 25, 2013 This is one of the questions that no one in the hobby has been able to definitively answer for me until now. It is an interesting read, enjoy! http://www.advancedaquarist.com/blog/why-do-soft-corals-like-xenia-pulse The findings of this study indicate that pulsation motions are a highly efficient means for sweeping away water from the pulsating body, and for an increased mixing of dissolved matter between the body and the surrounding medium. These two processes (expulsion of medium and mixing of solutes) may lead to future applications in engineering and medicine. Currently the research group is focusing on attempts to broaden the results of this study and on developing mathematical models which could serve various applicative purposes.
