They look to be cool critters in the video, I would love to see some one day. I don't do much tropical diving, and don't know how common they are but it seems they may be becoming more common.

These are also common in salt water tanks... it's impressive seeing a 'carpet' of them pulse. Kinda looks like wheat blowing in the wind.

Pulsing xenia is a common soft coral in aquariums and it looks pretty incredible. I miss my reef tank a lot sometimes!
