xenia

I've had my tank for 5 weeks now, and I've noticed something growing on my xenia. Can any tell what it is?

Any size frag of green nepthea, pulsing xenia, and hollywood stunner chalice. Pickup/dropoff only currently. Hollywood stunner $30 larger frag, $15 smaller frag Nepthea and xenia $10 a frag. Will cut to order, Looking to get rid of some over growth. If interested in large chunk of nepthea of...

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...

Located in columbus Indiana although I can ship -pulsing xenia (price depends on how big of cut you would like) -hydnophora -$30 -cali torte acropora -$30 -pink birdsnest -$20 -blue devils finger leather (price depends on how big of cut you would like)

hey guys i just bought this xenia who was fragged right in front of me at the LFS about 6 hours ago. it’s been bending over like this for a while now and when i supported it with my fingers it’d stay upright for ~10minutes. was wondering if this is normal since it’s new/freshly fragged? wouldn’t...

So I am think of setting up a tank filled with all the coral that people class as invasive, things like gsp, Xenia and mushrooms. The sort of things that I don't want in my main reef tank. I currently have a cycled fluval 13.5 with a pair of clownfish and live rock, bare bottom. Been cycled a...

I have a question that keeps nagging me. I'm considering encouraging one or more of my corals to grow on the back glass and overflow, but I'm decidedly undecided. I want your opinions and experience. I may not follow your advice, but I might, maybe. The tank is not tall and one of my...

My Xenias where nice and blooming and today in the morning when the lights came on they did not open . So I turned on my pumps that i use during feeding time and one of them wanted to but did not ..... i did a parameter check and it looks like PH is way low . So i drove to my local pet shop and...

I've heard that some people go as far as to supplement iodine in their tanks to help their xenia flourish. I haven't been able to verify this theory (and believe me I've tried), but that seems to imply that xenia is a bio-accumulator of iodine. And if thats true then... Well, it probably...

I have what I believe is just your general Pom Pom Xenia. I’m just wondering if it is normal for Xenia to just grow in single heads. All the ones I’ve seen online have been one base white many heads. Thanks In advance

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...

Hi all, my xenia has been healthy, but tonight its puffed up from the body nothing has changed in the tank any ideas what its foing ot any experience? looks like its about to explode

I have one tank with lots of xenia growing all over that I have to regularly prune and another tank with no xenia. The tank with the xenia consistently has lower nitrates than the one without. It also seems to require much less maintenance. Is the xenia consuming the nutrients in my tank an they...

I have this Xenia (i think) that is growing out of control in my tank. I am trying to figure out what type of xenia it is so I can better figure out how to get rid of it or at least cut back some of it. I have posted a picture but this is like 2% of the total amount of it in my tank. It is...

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.

Looking to buy some easy corals preferably soft corals/ leathers/shrooms/zoas/gsp or looking to see what’s available around Pensacola! Hit me up!!

I know that pulsing xenia can get out of control and take over a tank. So I avoided it. But I like the way xenia looks and I see other "types" of xenia available. Are they all problematic? Could I use a Pom Pom Xenia or a silver Xenia and NOT have it take over everything? Thanks

Hi Folks-- Anyone have experience using a Majano wand and know if it could kill Xenia? I'm so sick of those dang things popping up all over my tank. Thanks! Robert

Has anyone observed Xenia's stinging and injuring other corals that they were touching? I had a nice size purple Monti cap and some Xenia started growing on a rock next to it; eventually some of the Xenia were touching one edge along 1" or so of the Monti, but I paid no attention to it. The next...

Frag was listed as long tentacled xenia but ive never heard of it so i googled it and nothing came up either looking like the one in the pic. Anyone know what kind of xenia it is or is it even a xenia

So ive had this tank running for like 10 months now. I had one crash a few months ago but thing are doing a lot better now. I test cal, alk, mg, nitrate, ph, and salinity a few times a week. My mag is over 1500. Should i be concerned? Everything else is testing within a range thats...

Hi, Can someone please confirm this is a Xenia? It was sold to me as Xenia but after having it for about 2 months I'm starting to think it might be something else as it doesn't have the 'mini-hands'. Please ignore the state of the coral in the first picture this was from the first week I got...

I have a new Pom Pom Xenia frag with 3 stalks and placed it on my rock. I've heard you should isolate them so they don't overtake your main rock structure but I do not have room in my tank to dedicate a specific island for Xenia coral. Will I be ok to have it on my main rock structure? I've...

Hi, 3 days ago I got my first corals 1x Xenia and 1x Toadstool leather. To my disbelieve I had insane amounts of problems with both and after a ton of research I came to some theories which maybe you could pin point so I don't repeat them in the future. Quick background The tank is 630ltr...
