What is the best care for pumping xenia? I just got a frag and they are in a 46 bow with t-5s. Like flow, lighting and placement. Thanks!!!
 
Actually, I got the pumping xenia, nuclear greens, and bam bam orange zoas in yesterday and could use advice on keeping all these. I would love to see them grow and multiply. They are in a 46 bowfront with 4 39wt T-5s. Placement and flow are what I really need at this time. Thank you!!!
 
Medium light and light to medium flow for all should do well. The zoas can take more flow but the xenia in to much flow will start moving all over the tank. in the direction of the flow and it doesn't pulse in higher flow. Low flow you will see the pulsing..
 
i put all 3 on the sand bed with low flow.the xenia you might want to attach it to a small rock alone away from other rock cause they will spread and take over.i just had to break them off my rock and was giving it away.
