Should I be concerned? Xenia completely drooped over after water change.

Picture attached:

Xenia has been limp for 24 hours after a water change. I checked the water chemistry and don't see any issues. Should I be worried at this point? Everything else is alive and moving around as usual (including zoas, red star polyps, and mushrooms).

Thanks!

Should you be concerned? No. Should you be jumping for joy? Yes. .

Just kidding. I added a plug of xenia about 6 months ago and it is spreading everywhere :mad:. It is very hardy. It should recover fine.

Hah! I put mine on that little island by itself. I have no intentions of letting it break free!

Xenia is very prolific and easy to keep coral - it does not like quick changes in salinity like those after a water change.

It will be fine. No one else has figured out how to kill it you won’t be the first

Lol, that is what I did too. I guess when my island filled up, some of the polyps got fed up and emigrated to other areas of the tank. I now have it on both ends of a 6' tank. I hope you are luckier than me.

Lil update...can officially see right through the mushroom! Happens alot quicker than I figured it would, the mushroom has only been in my tank for around 14 days...
