Hi everyone.
I have a reef tank with some Xenia among other corals like GSP, Montipora digitata, Acans, Euphyllia etc. Everything is doing good except Xenia.
The tank is about 9 months old. The first months the Xenia was growing and pulsing like crazy, almost covering the rock it was in in just a couple months, but then one day it just stopped, without any change at all to the tank. Now it pulses very weakly, it is semi closed all the time and isn't growing at all, in fact I think it is getting smaller.
Currently phosfates are at 0.16 and Nitrates at 8.3. I dose Iodine weekly after reading that it might be the cause, but after a month of dosing I noticed no change at all.
Any idea what the problem might be?
thanks.
