Can you post a picture? I have some Xenia but I am looking for a different type than I already have. I also have a post for trading some Xenia so you could see what I have. Thanks, Brian
I bought this xenia from Chickencantoneer a few months ago. I'm running 3000 gph flow in my tank and the xenia adds a lot of beautiful movement and color. It tends to grow, split, move, and creep closer to other corals blocking them from view and light. I figure I have about a dozen nice heads to trade for some zoos, rics, rocks, or whatever.
Ya know... that's what I thought. Tim grabbed it by the base and yanked it off the rock like he was pulling a carrot out of the ground. Little bits of it was floating around. He said "xenia is tuff stuff." I bought maybe 15 heads of it from him. I bet 14 re-attached with no problem and the other just got swept behind my rocks and I left it. I use a powerhead with a sharp piece of plastic to remove them. I don't think you can kill them. If you rip a head off a rock and it tears in half... you now have 2 heads.
I was at Tim's (chickencannoneer) house last weekend and he has plenty of xenia to sell or trade if anybody is interested. Its worth the drive to pick it up just to see his tank!
