Attaching Xenia

[Zoa_Fanatic]

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.

I've super glued them just fine to plugs. One thing to note is that they start to slime once you take em out so I just dab the base of the Xenia dry before dabbing it into glue and letting the glue set in saltwater

And they don’t get negatively effected by the glue at all?

cut flow + rubble band works well for me. I'd be careful of superglue on soft coral. just because it works once doesn't mean it will work every time. I lost some soft coral by getting even a little on them.

Will these things pull all the nutrients out of my tank and kill everything else? Saw that in another post

It shouldn't.

No negative effects. Super glue is what I use for almost everything minus my Koji wada/neptheas. My neptheas I have to use the rubber band trick. I've put xenias on over 10 plugs recently (I hate throwing away coral) and they're all doing fine
