Xenia Not opening

[Imran Sid’s]

New to hobby my tank is 9 month I have AI prime and good water movement. Ten days back added Xenia yesterday After I did water change 20 % they are not opening current salinity is 1.026 do I need reduce it

If you matched salinity then that is fine.

Many time an alkalinity swing will upset corals.

Do you happen to know what your before and after alkalinity was?

Also, did you temperature match?

Do you have any other corals and are they upset?

My temp is at 78, I did not test for alkalinity my zoa looks fine feel like my gps are little upset too

Lower salinity to 1.024 or 25 and see if they respond

Sounds to me like an alkalinity swing from your fresh water to the tank water. You always want to buffer the new water to match your tank water. Temp, alk, ph, gravity

Check your Alk and PH. Xenias wont open or stop pulsing if you are running in the low end.
