How is the water movement in your tank? I see algae growing on your corals..

We need more info to help you, can you advise the tank age, water parameters, type of lighting and flow in your tank? How long have the corals been in your tank? Do you use rodi water?
 
All my levels are good! I just moved the tank to a new location so I think that might be why the Xenia died. I was just wondering if I need to take it out of the tank or leave it and it open back up

Its not dead, soft corals melt away when they die since they have no skeletal structure like stony corals. So if you can see it, its still alive. Just give it awhile to recover after the move.

What are "good" levels? Detailed information helps assessing tank issues. 🙂
 
I agree with @BristleWormHater . It is sulking probably from the move. I would just watch it and make sure it is getting adequate flow to keep detritus from building up.
