Limp Xenia

[nickp9054]

So I know this is probably nothing, but I got a shipment with a pulsing Xenia this morning. I drop acclimated for an hour, after temp acclimating for 15 min. Dipped and it closed up of course, but seemed fine it was already attach to a frag plug luckily, so it was only out of the water for like 2-3 min tops. I also turned down the flow temporarily, because i heard they would only pulse in low flow. So I planned to slowly acclimate them to the flow. But even on the lowest flow setting on my jebao wave maker, it’s limping. Is it just not fully acclimated yet? I should also mention that I’m new to reefing. Here is the picture

Give it some time to acclimate. Sounds like you followed the proper procedures so as long as your water quality is good it should be fine.

Thanks, my water chemistry is stable

It’s just mad. Mine did that for three days when I first added them. They’re being blasted sideways by my powerhead ans are still pulsing now.
