Pulsing xenia

[aerialdronemaster]

Hi all

I have a nice big pulsing xenia in my small 24h tabk

I just moved the rock (with xenia) to my new reefer 350. It just finished cycling
Literally all is good
Tem 78
Salt 34
Temp 78
Alk 9
Cal 450
Mag 13
Ph 8.2


The gap opened pretty fast and looks good , xenia ja is looking kinda closed, is it normal?

Hi, just wondering how did go with the Xenia? I added a small colony a week ago and they haven't once opened up. Low flow, low light, etc. Can't figure it out

Xenia like some nutrients, nitrate > 5, po4 > 0.05. Started dosing phyto a couple of weeks ago for other corals, the xenia have never pulsed so much.
