What xenia is this? Info?

[nanomania]

Its blue/purple in colour. Would high-flow be good of it to grow? What about its care?

Do you have any better pictures? I cant clearly see but it may be pom pom xenia. The color range of pom pom xenias looks like what that may be.

Blue waving hand?

I think it may be waving hand but I wouldn't be 100% sure because I can't really see the color. If it is, then congrats bc those are super expensive!! it looks like it's on a frag so did you buy it and where did you buy it? Care wise, keep it medium flow and medium lighting. They are very easy to grow and are fast growing so you should be good! the less flow, the better!

Got it from a fellow hobbyist. Thanks for the tip, i had placed it in a high flow area. Will change the placement.

So if it isn't thriving in low flow conditions, try putting it in high lighting and high flow. They either like almost no flow or like as much flow as they can get. They are very hardy so I don't completely understand why it isn't doing well. Is it just not pulsing or is it closed up? Did you QT it before adding it to the tank bc it may have a disease if that's the kind of unhappiness. Sorry it isn't going well!:eek::(

What conditions was it in the original tank? What lights did it have over it? My suggestion is it's still trying to adjust to your system and moving it around a ton is only going to aggravate it more.

Yes, will move again

Yes, will move again

I'd suggest not moving it for atleast a week, keep it in low to medium flow and light. Any noticeable pests on it at all??
