Xenia not looking great

[Slot]

Bought it a few months ago and for the past few days its been looking like this. Salinity is 1.026 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 15, water change today though. Any idea why its doing this?

I was going to post the same exact thing today. Bought a xenia 2 months ago, looked great, and the last 2 days or so it's been looking wilted. Not even a normal closed up, just wilted, laying flat down. I have another Xenia in the tank doing fine. Any thoughts?

What type of lighting, and skimmer are you running? Also how old is the system? My guess is the pink Pom Pom Red Sea Xenia is getting more light and possibly in indirect flow. If you can get some Elongata Xenia you might have better luck. From my experience Elongata fares better in lower light situations. That is the type I use in my Xenia fuge, and sell to stores for the same reasons I stated.
