Did I make a mistake putting Xenia in my tank?

Not at all. I put it on the back walls, which looks cool. I also glue pieces to hermit crabs.

lol, the hermit crab 'accessorizing' is an awesome idea!

I use my star polyps to trade to the lfs or other reefers for other corals. I give nice big frags of the stuff that equate to tiny frags of nicer end corals which is what i want. I always keep a bunch of it growing and throw small pieces of rocks or plugs or tiles so I can cut them off and keep fragging them and get more corals. This stuff creeps over the rocks I put next to it in weeks.

My zenia over populated my tank. Ended up taking a lot to trade a our local fish store. Found that placing it on its own rock away from other is the best way to control it.

I love the look of xenia. It's easy to harvest when/if it takes off. Just peel it off or place a piece of rock next to it and it will frag itself. I found that if I keep it isolated with sand all around, it does not like to spread onto the sand. Just my experience. You could put it up against the back of your tank and let it climb up and cover the back. That would look wicked.
