xenia

I have a 1 year old system with mostly soft corals. All the fish are doing fantastic as well as, the majority of my corals. However, my Duncan, candy cane, & xenia are not. The Duncan was doing well but looks like it's a goner. The candy cane & xenia frags are alive but not well. The xenia will...

I have a weird issue that seems to be going on with my Xenias. On a few of the polyp stalks, it seems like there is some banding going on or something. It kind of is hard to tell from this video, and a little hard to get a good pic of it, but you can kind of see it in the middle polyp in this...

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...

Hello fellow saltines, So I just added a couple new corals (the first two after my disastrous attempt with my very first two). It's a 5g with an upgraded light and the addition of a Sicce powerhead. The corals are a Purple Plume gorg (photosynthetic) and a xenia. I originally had them on the...

Location is Huntsville, AL. Looking for some pulsing Xenia. I’m willing to pay shipping for a good frag or drive within about a hundred miles in any direction. Let me know! Thanks!

I am looking for some beginner corals, Zoas, leathers, mushrooms, cloves, Xenia I am located in central NJ, willing to meet up. Let me know what you have. Thanks a lot, Pete

Hey y'all, I've been trying to solve a Xenia problem for some time now, and I'm wondering if this could be the problem. I have a 10 gallon aquarium with a single clown, 3 snails, and one emerald crab, that has been battling Dinos for months. The tanks is looking better, but my Xenia is looking...

Hello, I got a pulsing Xenia about 4 ish months ago, and up until the last month and a half it was doing well and pulsing like crazy. Now the polyps are skinny and not as puffed up without any pulsing whatsoever. I have also been battling prorocentrum dinos and now have a forest of GHA however...

For the entire time I’ve been reefing, I have been setting my frags in the most stable locations on my live rock without using any adherent. I just started two new pico builds, one has a protopalythoa Zooanthid that seems a little stressed sometimes but also seems happy at others and isn’t...

New frag of pulsing Xenia. Got from my LFS for $25 it’s actually pretty huge compared to the pictures. Now my question, should I leave it attached to the rock it came with at the bottom of the tank or cut them out and glue to a piece of the live rock that’s the main centerpiece.

Who's eating my pulsing xenia? My tank livestocks are: 1 six line wrasse 1 gold strip maroon clown 1 maroon clown 1 lubbock wrasse 1 banana wrasse 1 sailfin tang 1 red basslet 1 blue chromis 2 skunk cleaner shrimp 1 purple firefish 1 nasarius snail 1 sea urchin (new addition) Few turbo snails...

Hey everyone my pulsing xenia has been doing great but over the last day and a half I’ve noticed it begin to look more rigid and less tree like than it usually does. Something seems to be off with my anemone as well. All my parameters are good, salinity is good so I have no idea what could be...

Introduction Hey everyone! I thought I'd start a build thread to track my progress with my newest reef. I had about 7 active tanks running simultaneously when I was 13-15 years old, but then lost interest in the hobby and got rid of everything. I'm older now and haven't been working as much due...

Can we compile a list in this thread of the different types of "Pulsing Xenia Corals". Please include common names and scientific names if you can along with a picture that you think is representative of that type. Any additional information/personal experience with that type of xenia would also...

Ok so I have some Xenia which is open and has been doing fairly well in my tank for a month. Params: Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 15 (doing water change today) Calc 410 Mag 1340 Alk 8.2 ish Ph 8 Temp 81 I’ve noticed that my Xenia has become taller and lankier? Basically the stalks of each eat...

Clearing out my 25G lagoon in preparation for converting into frag tank and Xenia, acans need to go. First up is 6” Xenia colony looking for SPS.

So one of my xenia frags came off and got sucked into powerhead and completly shredded. i removed what was left out of powerhead. Water wasnt cloudy looked ok. Fed fish they fine. Everything else seems ok. Should i be worried about a crash and or a xenia outbreak??? I have a Nano waterbox 10...

I'm pretty sure my package could've survived being run over for how well it was secured. It was very obvious that they take great care with their livestock. I think the coral was either double or triple bagged then wrapped with newspaper and placed in an insulated box, then packaged. The xenia...

Anyone can ID what type of Xenia this is? It was pulsing in the greenhouse when I bought it and when I first got it in my tank. It's been there 2 weeks now and hasn't started to pulse again.

I got some Xenia about 3 days ago, and it’s pulsing moderately Bc it’s in decent flow, and it is opening up which is good, but I can’t help but notice a lot of the feathers are black? I’ve gotten some conflicting info on this, with people saying it’s a phase while some saying their Xenia’s...

Hello, My name is Scotty I'm a noob.. I've had reef tanks in the past. Pretty much before this thing called the internet. I'm getting back in to the hobby, I just set up a Red Sea Max 130D which a friend gave to me. I have removed the hood, remove the trim around the glass, and installed a...

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...

I am setting up a separated area for some pulsing xenia. A local guy on Craigslist is selling frags but I have seen multiple times that xenia cannot handle dipping. Would taking it off of the plug and not dipping it be good enough or am I asking for trouble?

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.

So yesterday, I get home from work. I work at a rehab hospital as a nurse aide taking care of brain damaged patients and the hours are long (12 hours) so at the end of the day I come home looking forward to seeing my reef. I had recently (about 2 weeks ago) bought heteroxenia off live aquaria’s...
