I've got these for $15 and no one wants to buy them... Green flesh, Blue polyps. Bird of Paradise is green flesh with Purple polyps. Blue Zing is the closest I can find. This is the Riptide Hidden Forest Birdsnest.

I’m going to pickup some free Xenia today for a local hobbyist. He will cut off a few pieces from his colony. How do I get it to attach to a frag plug? Glue it?


Also should I dip Xenia?

If it is unattached, don't bother gluing it. Likely won't work. Put it in a mushroom-type basket or even a shot glass with some broken shells/small rubble pebbles. It will attach to something, and then you can glue the shell/rubble to the rocks wherever you want it.

A word of caution: xenia spreads, so it's advisable to put it on a rock island away from your main rockscape.
