I'm at nearly the 6 month mark and feeling pretty good about how things have gone with fish and inverts, so I decided to take the plunge and get my first ever coral. I got a small piece of pulsing xenia at my LFS. It has no frag plug, they just removed a small specimen off of their tank glass with a razor blade. Of course it shriveled up due the disturbance, being transported and put in a new tank, so it doesn't look like much yet. I didn't try gluing it, but rather just placed it on a rock where there is not a lot of flow. My yellow wrasse went to investigate and took a few pokes at it which didn't help. I was able to shoo the wrasse away and haven't caught it bothering the coral anymore, so hoping it was just a little initial curiosity at the new inhabitant. It's still pretty shrunken up 48 hours in, but there is some pulsing movement going on so I'm hopeful it will start to perk up and look better. Was wondering what some of everyone's experiences were with brand new soft corals like this and how long they take to recover from being put into a new system. Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.
