So, you think you want to keep Xenia...

Trex · Dec 10, 2012

So, even though I knew better, I allowed the girlfriend to talk me into putting Xenia into my 65.

I did this in the past, and already knew what was going to happen (( same reason I dislike mushrooms ))....

This is from 11 months ago,

And now from the other day (( mind you, I keep the right side's side glass free of them, and part of the left side's side near the MP10 ))

Side,

Front,

Slight close up of the front,

With flash,

And for the heck of it, a close up of my golden lawnmower blenny,

I think it is beautiful! Too bad it takes over like that. Looks cool though.

I see Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Multicolor Angelfish and Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Flame Angelfish Hope that helps!!

OP- That is terrifyingly beautiful. And your blenny is adorable <3

I used to keep my Xenia on the glass on the far corner of ky tank. Kept it easy to propagate and looked nice flowing. I dragged pieces every other week!

WOW!!! That is a close relative to a FOREST!!! Well, now all you have to do is sell for $1/polyp and you will be SET....LOL..... At least you know you can grow stuff....hahahaha

stunreefer · Dec 10, 2012

Looks awesome, probably nice low maintenance too. I love seeing aquariums that actually look like a piece of nature.

zab34 · Dec 10, 2012

I think it at least looks cool, and you got a couple bucks worth of frags there. Is that the pulsing kind? If not do you have the name of the type?

seamonkey84 · Dec 10, 2012

I pull Xenia out like its part of nutrient export. It grows faster than the cheato i have in my fuge. If no one tells me they want any, I just flush them now.Whenever hey get on other corals or if I can't pull all of it off the rock, I'll treat the trouble areas with peroxide or do a 50/50 peroxide dip.

pnavarro170 · Dec 10, 2012

looks awesome, wish there were more species tanks out there, he needs to pull out the other corals now.

_Alex_ · Dec 10, 2012

uall8up · Dec 10, 2012
