Any pieces that you have will be fine, just need them to cover the bottom. You do want the xenia too right? I will post pics later when lights come on.

What does the xenia look like? How do you care for it? How large of a tank do you need? How much?

xenia is considered the weed of corals, alot of people dont like it cause its almost impossible to kill and covers everthing if you let it. Although if you like the look of it some people have set up tanks strickly for xenia and they look beautiful. As for care, just set it and forget it. As long as you have lights and water it should be fine.

I didn't plan on shipping any, really didn't even think about it to be honest. I've never shipped any coral, so I'd have to figure our the process with Fed-Ex I'd guess... I suspect about $25-$30 for overnight.

No problem, I understand.
I fragged the whole center rock with the most Xenia, I initially tried a chisel method, but the rock is too porus, and a significate portion broke off (with no xenio on it, nice), anyway, it's a beautiful piece of rock so I decided to use a razor blade next...I now have them sitting over some rubble in an acrylic box in the tank, going to try to let them attach themselves rather than mess with rubberbanding...I might try the superglue gel if some don't take...

what are the care parameters of xenia? where are you located I want some!

The care parameters are the basic of basic. If your water has a correct temp/salinity/ph and you have basic lighting xenia shouldnt have any prob growing everywhere.

I'm in Goodlettsville, about 15 mins north of Nashville. Be aware, this stuff can take over quick, so if you have plans for an SPS dominated tank, or a more mixed tank with minimal softies, it could be an issue within 6 months, just letting you know. Or you can frag/trim it to keep in check. But yeah, you're welcome to some.

That might work out, Sunday afternoon or early eve is best. Did I see a post that said you work in Dickson some days...that would make for an easy side stop one day if that's the case. I have plenty of xenia, so don't worry you can take your time...so a special trip may not be needed...always an excuse to visit AC though.

That's what I was thinking I work saturday night again 5pm-5am'ish(which usually works out to be 630-7am). I usually get through Nashville on those days about 830-9ish. If not that early I usually go home take a four hour nap and get up. Chris and I will be out taking a ride or doing something. If we aren't really up to anything I may talk him into another trip to the AC or something.
