I got a small rock with pulsing Xenia as my "first" coral some time ago.  I have/had it in a 12 gal nano and it basically took over the tank.  Water conditions were pristine (b/c of the horses) but feedings were heavy.  Not that the Xenia munch mysis, but the debate over water conditions IS intriguing.  I've heard of total meltdowns.  Based on my experience, low-med water flow is best for it.  PH around 8 - 8.2 is also imp and water hardness as well (seems sensitive).  I also noticed that once when I went on vacation, the salinity went up to 1.028.  Boy did it spread!  Also, if you feed your tank something like reefroids or other coral foods, they should spread.  I've had to had to slice a dice a lot of it as it continuously grows like a weed in both my tanks. 

I know this isn't the trading forum but if things don't work out, I'd be happy to supply you with a little colony in trade for something.

Good luck!
