Hi all,
So i’ve gotten pulsing xenia before and it just never opened up and every day it just looks worse. attached a pic of it now (the smaller piece) figured it was just bad luck, all my other softies and LPS are thriving. So yesterday my LFS had a nice little rock with a colony so I grabbed that and today this is what it looks like (other pic attached) I’m just wondering if this is normal on day one or if it’s gonna end up like the smaller one. Both are in a very low flow area of the tank.

moved it to a higher flow area, I’ve just heard it won’t pulse in higher flow. maybe I heard that wrong though
not necessarily, we have no real way to judge flow. What one person considers "high flow" might be someone else's "low flow", depending what type of tank you run. Too much flow makes them close, not enough flow makes them close, so you have to find that right spot.
