Will xenia cross sand

[evolved]

It can also spawn in a tank; yet another way it can spread.

Someone gave me some for free and I didnt know what it was until now that I read all of this. It was pretty and Im just getting things in my tank and now im worried.

Please dont let my thread discourage you its a beautiful piece and looks great it just requires some.love and attention

I will gladly take any that ppl want to get rid of. Lol

I sell it five bucks a rock to my local store its awesome

My question is will it

Yes, it will. Mine is all over the tank. Its even poping up in between the zoa polyps on the frag plugs!

Heres the deal i get it will travel on glass or frag itsself ect ect but will it physically attach to sand

I just scrubb it off with a small wire brush as I suck it out on water change day works pretty well to keep it under control

my xenia have crossed sand.. lept from 1 rock and crossd over to the next creating a gian chain

My new Xenia frag broke off the rock and went to the back of tank onto sand. Still light pulsing but looks very sad. Should I move it back to a rock or just left it do its thing?

I have had xenia let go of its rock and catch a ride in the current.

I second this.
They certainly can AND WILL jump ship so to speak.
I have noticed it when it outgrows whatever it is placed on and also just randomly when it is in sparse patches.
Definitely Something to monitor during weekly inspections.
