New reefer here, I’m pretty new to all of this I recently purchased a Xenia plate and to me it looks dead, can anyone else give their input and what steps should I proceed with next ?
I've seen these graphs that show reef tank compatibility between fish in reef aquariums and I was wondering if anyone knows of a similar graph that shows coral/anemone aggression and compatibility that they refer to for a rough idea on what will be say more aggressive than tankmates close-by...

What is this? It is totally not waving hand anthelia (although it was sold under this name), because i saw other frags of the similar size and the only similarity is their fluffy tentacles(which are not as fluffy in this thing). Waving hand has tentacles that wave in the flow, this specimen has...

Ok so I’ve had my Xenia now for about 1 week and it was doing great in the first half of the week it when from being pulsing then to not doing the pulse at all please help I’m new at Xenia.
Hello all. Since last night, my Xenia frag has not opened back up for some reason. I am trying to figure out what could be the reason. The day before, I adjusted my powerhead and pointed it towards the back glass instead of straight. I did this in order to improve circulation in the tank but...
Hello all,
Today I picked up a smaller Xenia frag on my way home. I got the coral acclimated by floating the bag for 30 minutes and placed the piece inside. Currently, it hasn't opened back up yet fully, but I shouldn't expect it to the first day right? My current dilemma is that the Xenia is...
Hello! I am new to reefing but have been in freshwater for a few years now. The issue is, my GSP is still not open after a week and I am worried about it. I also managed to kill two Xenia. I have been researching and trying to figure out why this happened, my calcium and magnesium is slightly...
Hi All,
So I have one of my rock islands in my Waterbox Frag 125 dedicated to the GSP I have had and is growing well over the last 6 months. My LFS just gave me some ‘neon Xenia’ (front of image) which is a LOT brighter and I think it looks better but I just have it on a small piece of rock at...
I bought a couple corals today and they gave me free xenia at the same time. The temperature did not fluctuate much, the trip took half an hour. But along 6 hours she started to lose a few feathers (maybe skin on feathers), and then the skin started to peel off. I assume this is normal and...
I've had a 20 cube AIO reef tank for about 6 months now. I lost of ton of coral during hurricane Idalia and lost a few others to a pest crab, so I picked up a couple of softie frags from a local wholesaler to replace my losses. I picked up 6 zoas/paly frags, an Australian finger leather, a Kenya...
I just brought home my first corals… went with pulsing Xenia and GSP… but I’m having a hard time figuring out where flow is low enough in my tank that would be good for the Xenia and where a good place to glue the gsp would be… any input is appreciated (:
Good afternoon,
I have a 22 gal long tank, with a toadstool, singularia, kenya tree, frogspawn, derasa clam, and a pulsing xenia. The tank is 11 months old.
My biggest worry is my Sinularia coral.
I recently went on a 3 week long TDY to florida, and had my mom take care of my tank while I was...
Hello! About a week ago I took over a 4 year established biocube 29g. Wondering if this is aptasia or xenia.
Water parameters:
Temp: 77F
Salinity: 1.026
pH: 8.2
Nitrites: 0
Ammonia: 0
Nitrates: 40 (they were 160 before a 50% water change and i’m still working on getting it down)
Phosphates: 4…...
WTB ruby red pulsing xenia. Preferably local (San Diego) but willing to pay for shipping especially if you have other corals to offer i can buy along with the xenia to make it worthwhile.
Hi! this is my 3rd attempt at trying to keep xenia and i just got this frag at my local fish store around 5 hours ago. I was wondering if the part at the front was normal for it to shrink because of the lights being off or if it was melting. My parameters arent completly perfect i have an issue...
My Xenia is quickly spreading in my rock to my torch. Will this become a problem? I’m worried the torch might sting the xenia, or it’ll grow over the torch. The torch is relatively new (around 2 months) and it’s still on its frag so I can still move it somewhere else. What do you guys think?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking to buy 3 frags of xenia or gsp that are roughly the same size. My sister is doing an experiment on salinity change and how it affects growth, so I'm trying to find some reasonably priced frags. I'm located in Oviedo FL but can drive to pick up.

Hello reefers,
Today I’m setting up to place some Xenia on the back wall and I wanted to show my way of doing it.
1.) cut a small piece of plexiglass. Can be transparent or the color of your background. Then drill the hole in the middle . ( I didn’t have drill bit large enough so I made a...
