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 ends 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.
Xenia umbellata es una especie de coral descrita por Jean-Baptiste Lamarck en 1816. Xenia umbellata está incluida en el género Xenia y en la familia Xeniidae. No se enumeran subespecies en el Catalogue of Life.
