I am super happy about the growth I can easily see in my Xenia colonies (I have several that are all growing off of shells, I bough a huge amount for only $5 at my LFS.) Only today, upon examination of my Xenia did i notice that there is a lot of growth on the live rock surrounding each of the colonies. In some cases huge polyps have grown on separate areas, I really want to frag this stuff, but don't have the tank room for more colonies, i might have to get rid of this stuff eventually, and plan on moving it into the upcoming 30 gallon tank, which is still in the making. ("I don't have it yet," said every aquarist ever). I'm not a coral expert by any means and don't know many corals. I want to learn more about this stuff though, I am really interested in the corals that grow faster, I like corals that barely grow at all, but the fast ones are more exciting. Being able to grow anything is huge for me, I can't grow plants at all, I don't know what I was thinking with corals, but I am very glad I was able to pull it off.
 
How to celebrate...ha ha ha, perhaps a visit to my LFS as a sort of pat on the back
