Xenia...should I be concerned?

[Tony888]

Hi Everyone,

I picked up a few xenia's yesterday. Should I be concern of any toxins? Any comments would be appreciated.

Nope

I don't think so, but you would be wary of that spreading everywhere. I would isolate on a rock in the sand unless that is what you want is xenia everywhere.

Those appear to be PomPom Xenia. If so, they are not as invasive as others. I like Xenia, even though it is considered a "beginner coral." Just keep an eye on it and cut it back if it gets overgrown. Isolation on a separate rock is a good idea.

+1 I've seen it happen.

Yeah that’s gonna spread like fire if your water is remotely good.

Your fine with toxins but you need to watch it as it’s very invasive and can become a real pain in the bottom when it starts spreading to places you don’t want it.

I find it very beautiful with the movement but it just spreads like crazy!
