Xenia ripping

[TriggerDude]

It looks like the Xenia is ripping off it's rock. Can anyone confirm? If it does rip off what do I do? Will it die?

It is in low to medium water flow in a biocube 14.

It will not necissarily die just from "ripping off". Depends on where it settles in the tank (if there is light, flow, etc... or if it goes through overflow, powerhead, blah blah) I would wonder why it is ripping off though that not really normal in my experience unless very strong constant flow is aimed at it.

It might just be moving. Sometimes it does that if it wants to be in a different spot.

Tks I hope it's moving

Yellow is usually bad... Not a rip in my opinion.

My xenias are always moving and they multiply like crazy. It doesn't seem to happy there maybe move them closer to another rock. They move and multiply fast.

+1, no question.

So what does yellow mean? I've never seen it. Just assumed it was a product of the flash on the camera.

Only times I've ever seen the flesh go yellow, the xenia was rapidly on it's way out. Not sure if it's bacterial, but it usually presaged a pretty rapid decomposition of tissue.

Yeah, I think it is some type of rot or infection.
