I cannot keep xenia. I recently aquired some pulsing xenia I got home this morning and something had eaten all of it down to just a few small nubs of the stalks. I hope it will grow back, I'm not counting on it. :thumbdown

Have you found out what is eating them? That could be a problem you need to fix now before it eats other corals later on.

It should grow back its like a weed, if not let me know i will give you some weeds

 

[Tomoko Schum]

Even a strong weed will fail to grow if there is a big bad goat hanging around .

 

[kennedy450r]

Guess I need some goats then

 

[ct103]

I suspect the goat is a coral beauty, he has'nt bothered any other corals yet.

I had a purple tang destroy some electric blue Cespit. Within 2 minutes of me removing my hands from the tank, it had devoured nearly the entire colony. I can't get it to touch Anthelia, though... Have a friend with some sort of pygmy angel that after 8 years, turned on his acans, then all other LPS (and also loved the Electric Blue Cespit). On some corals, it can be a blessing in diguise.

Two of my pigmy angels (C. argi) developed a taste for blue zoanthids. I love the fish, but I am too scared to have one of them now....

Well, today while doing some maintenance and fragging I noticed the xenia is startin to sprout out so maybe it will spread and will be left alone. Does anyone know if a sally lightfoot will eat the xenia because the coral bueaty seems disinterested? Oh by the way since I moved the tank back to the liveng room and it cycled again I keep finding things I never knew were living in there mostly polyps and mushrooms but it's always fun finding new critters.
