hello,

Of all my corals my Xenia is closing up more and more everyday. I thought these were bullet proof!
My I have a few SPS and LPS that are doing great and leathers as well but the Xenia is the issue.
I’ll post Picts tonight, it’s in low - medium light. Medium to high flow.
I will also check my parameters tonight too, but I’m open to any suggestions of light and flow options for the Xenia .
 
I had the same issue at one point, In my case it was not enough nutrients in the water, spot feeding it helped
 
In my experience they do not like high flow or high light..bottom of tank in low flow area seems to work, for me. My tank reads close to undetectable nitrate/phosphate, but I turn down my flow and broadcast feed reef roids or ME coral food daily and frozen mix, and they seem happy.
