pulsing xenia

new here, recommended to try this forum.. been in the hobby for a couple decades, love how we are always learning and adapting. mainly was told about the forum to sell and possibly trade some coral... I have tons of pulsing xenia.

Hello everybody. I haven't been on here for a while and that will also show with my tank. I have had the bubble algae issue for a long time. Probably 1 year with the aiptasia issue. I would go in and remove as much bubble algae and pulsing xenia as I could and I would forget about the tank again...

I removed some rock from my Fluval Evo 13.5 to scrape off some pulsing xenia and then three days later my hectors' goby is dead. Did I do something wrong that contributed to his death, or was it just a fluke? Here's how it went: I removed the xenia with a razor blade, rinsed the rock off with...

I dont know what i am doin wrong. My tank is thriving. Anemones, euphylia, candy, dunkan, monti all do Great for 2 years now and tripled in Size. The one thing why i even started the Hobby is not makin it for some reason. I know its Hit or Miss Blabla i read it all. Tried high Flow, light and...

I have a 5.5 gallon reef tank I set up around 3 months ago. I use a hipagero( I think I spelt that correctly ) reef tank light from Amazon at the lowest setting. My current dilemma is a new pulsing Xenia and it doesn’t seem to be thriving or doing very well. I have it placed rather high in the...

I had a pulsing Xenia come in the mail yesterday from a frag pack. All but a couple polyps have fallen off and they are stringy looking. Could I save it if so how ? Will post a pic later. (Btw I did do all the acclimation steps).

Is my pulsing Xenia complete dead or does it have any chance of recovering. If the cause of Xenia’s death Was possibly death by was being colonized and eaten by some kind spaghetti worms and bristle worms? The bristle worm was entirely red a little less than 6inches which is why I’m afraid that...

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I figured the lobby is okay? I wanted to show some 3d digital artwork I've been working on. Its a series called Coral Planet. All the animations are set up to loop, but the loop doesn't seem to work in the forum :( Let me know what you think! Feedback...

Hello all, I had a FOREST of pulsing Xenia for a couple years until a month ago. I sold a frag and moved stuff around, some wood polyps, and cleaned up the tank and then they all died off in a matter of a week. I noticed this spider web looking stuff and wondered if it was something that could...

Will Xenia rob a tank of nutrients if allowed to grow out large? I read that in another post on another forum but that sounds like crap to me. Dad had a bunch in his 180 that just disappeared one day. Just trying to make sure these dudes won’t rob my tank of all nutrients and kill my Zoa collection.

I’m about to get some pulsing Xenia that’s loose. How the heck do I attach it to a plug or rock or whatever? Not sure about the size of the frag I’m getting.

Let me just start by saying what you are about to see might be graphic to some and might cause nightmares/ptsd from others. Long neglected, but heavily fed, what was once a flourishing tropical reef in a box has now turned into...well what looks to be a mix between hades' underworld and a...

Hi, got my new tank in December (Interpet Riverreef) and has been going well until recently. My Xenia has fully retracted a couple of days ago and the only different things I have done is cleaned all the filters at the back (just taken out and fully rinsed) and then added flux rx treatment to...

Hello, I am new to corals and I’ve been prepping my tank for 16 months. I wanted to start with Xenia and green star polyps. I know the polyps are weeds, but I really love the way they look. Anyway, I finally bought some Xenia three days ago and they’ve been placed in the tank last night. My...

Okay, here goes nothing, I'm so new to this and I ask that you be kind because I'm frustrated and confused. I read somewhere that everyone needs to know absolutely everything about the tank and the way I'm running it, so I'll try my best. So, about 2 weeks ago now I noticed my torch coral in...

Hi, I’ve had this Xenia for 2 weeks. It’s big and healthy but the longer stems are not opening. Is there something wrong or is this just they way it is? The ones close to the base open and pulse.
