How do you Attach Xenia?

[TurboWagon]

Are you able to attach unattached xenia without using superglue? Is there any way to tie them down with a rubber band or something?

Also how rare is it to get Xenias that are actually pulsing?

Thanks!

I don't know all of my xenia will pulse so I've never had any that didn't. Easiest way to attch xenia is to put them on a rock and then plo another rock on top of them. They're pretty bullet-proof. In my tank, anything they touch they attach to.

Tie them to a piece of LR with a rubber band

I like the rock sandwich idea the best. If you a rubberband on them, make sure it is just tight enough or it will cut the xenia.

sandwiching them between 2 rocks is best and make sure there is not too much water flow as that could blow them off.

Pulsing Xenias are fairly common, but "Blue Xenia" (true blue--not hints of blue and grey haze) are very uncommon. If you find some, they will command a much higher price.
