Xenia...

what corals I only see xenia

Looks like there might be a couple yellow polyps off to the left that survived the attack.

hey thats the fast pulse variety nice scape I bet it was amazing all pulsing

I had to move most of my other corals down to the sand or lower on the live rock because the xenia was smothering them. This not a full tank shot, I had bunch of LPS at the bottom. In addition to a lot of my corals, it killed a fish and a shrimp... It did look pretty cool though.

I bought a Xenia 2 months ago and it has grown really quickly. I may be fragging it soon.

I just cut mine off and throw it away if it gets crazy. Use scissors making quick, clean cuts so theirs no pieces floating around.

Well,

1. I don't have the heart to kill corals.

2. The whole colony crashed and burned anyway. All I have left is a frag sized piece.

It's all good. I love the pic by the way.

1. It doesn't kill the coral. The "stump" left grows into a new colony, just shorter. Kind of like mowing the grass.

2. You could try again, but control it this time.

i hate xenia for this fact exactly

holy xenia batman

LOL

and then i toke out my xenia out of my tank and droped it in the snow

oww.

Must have been really nice to see all these fast pulsing xenia pulse together. When you have too much just sell some! Mine did not grow at all for 6 months and now it started to split and grow like weeds in both of my aquariums at the same time. Must be the weather???

Actually, Xenia growing like that is a sign of high nutrients in the tank. Xenia is actually more effective at exporting nutrients and filtering then chaeto and other macros.

man i love xenia may be a weed but i love when it pulses how many other corals do that none.
