Xenia as a water condition indicator

[FishAreFriends2]

Does this happen to anthelias too? I recently had a healthy anthelia growing and after I moved the powerhead it started to die and slowly melt but now I am left with a small head that looks like its comming back. I read that anthelias are related to xenias right?

My anthelia was more picky and light-loving (or at least it seems so), than white xenia. It just didn't want to grow, looks like the requirements are somehow different: xenia grows well, where anthelia grows, but not otherwise. In better lit locations anthelia now is huge, in moderate flow - the stalks are moved by flow.

But can't say about using it as water quality indicator.

Yours has a fair chance to restore - if conditions are right. Maybe it doesn't like changes...

i don't have bumps, but super healthy silver pusling has little nodules growing out of the stalks during the day ...
