Hi Guys again

I am sorry for my ignorance but can anybody be kind enough to explain what is xenia and soft corals, stony corals to me? How to differentiate them? Pls post a photo to show it as an examples or are there any website which I can visit to learn about them? Thanks a million

Xenia are a type of soft coral. The difference between soft and hard/stony corals is that soft corals do not contain calcareous structures.

There are several really good webpages--I'll post them on Monday (don't have my bookmarks at home!) You could also pick up a book on corals--pretty much any book that is general to corals will have pictures to show the difference.
