xenia

I know that pulsing xenia can get out of control and take over a tank. So I avoided it. But I like the way xenia looks and I see other "types" of xenia available. Are they all problematic? Could I use a Pom Pom Xenia or a silver Xenia and NOT have it take over everything? Thanks

Hi Folks-- Anyone have experience using a Majano wand and know if it could kill Xenia? I'm so sick of those dang things popping up all over my tank. Thanks! Robert

Has anyone observed Xenia's stinging and injuring other corals that they were touching? I had a nice size purple Monti cap and some Xenia started growing on a rock next to it; eventually some of the Xenia were touching one edge along 1" or so of the Monti, but I paid no attention to it. The next...

Frag was listed as long tentacled xenia but ive never heard of it so i googled it and nothing came up either looking like the one in the pic. Anyone know what kind of xenia it is or is it even a xenia

So ive had this tank running for like 10 months now. I had one crash a few months ago but thing are doing a lot better now. I test cal, alk, mg, nitrate, ph, and salinity a few times a week. My mag is over 1500. Should i be concerned? Everything else is testing within a range thats...

Hi, Can someone please confirm this is a Xenia? It was sold to me as Xenia but after having it for about 2 months I'm starting to think it might be something else as it doesn't have the 'mini-hands'. Please ignore the state of the coral in the first picture this was from the first week I got...

I have a new Pom Pom Xenia frag with 3 stalks and placed it on my rock. I've heard you should isolate them so they don't overtake your main rock structure but I do not have room in my tank to dedicate a specific island for Xenia coral. Will I be ok to have it on my main rock structure? I've...

Hi, 3 days ago I got my first corals 1x Xenia and 1x Toadstool leather. To my disbelieve I had insane amounts of problems with both and after a ton of research I came to some theories which maybe you could pin point so I don't repeat them in the future. Quick background The tank is 630ltr...

Would LOVE to find one and slap it in my tank!

I have two rose bubble tip anemones (1 large one that split) and about 7 pom pom xenias. Would like to get rid of them to make room in my tank. The xenias as fairly young, but very healthy. The anemone that split was approximately 6" in diameter when it would open up fully. Tank is in fallow...

Hello there :) So I am a couple of months going into reefkeeping and I have been loving it so far. So far, I only have frogspawn and some zoas in my 20 gallon right now. When I started the tank, I also had xenia in it when I first started to put some corals in it. My first Xenia died overnight...

Hello! I just had the surreal experience of winning a salt water tank last night. it is 30gal and has a variety of coral, live rock, a few types of snails, 2 Peppermint Shrimp and a young Clownfish. I was able to set it up last night with 90% of the original water and added 3gal of distilled...

Hello there! So I started my 20 gallon saltwater tank about 3 months ago. Right now, the only thing I have in that tank is 2 clownfish, a yellow watchman goby, and some inverts. I have started to do coral just a few days ago with xenias, zoas, and a frogspawn. All three of them opened up...

So yesterday I just got xenia and frogspawn in my tank. Most of the polyps on the xenia was already open and the frogspawn was a little bit close but everything was alright. Unfortunately, I think I may have put the xenia way too close and the frogspawn attacked it overnight. I woke up and saw...
