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 sitting very awkwardly on the frag, and the rock it is on has very awkward angles (can't get a good way for the frag to sit). I was thinking about removing the Xenia from its frag to place it on the rock. I need some help on going about this, as the way the frag currently is, it has fallen onto the sand once already, so I have my powerhead turned to 10%.
I heard that I could cut/scrape the Xenia off the plug with a clean razor blade and then place it onto the rock itself (using reef glue if necessary). Is this a possible method? I was told that by doing this I could risk the Xenia sliming out...
Looking for any other suggestions, methods, or tips about this coral.
Thanks
