Xenia

[harjit]

I have a 125 g reef with 3 250w xm 10K . Got this xenia a week ago
and not doing good. Can someone give more info on
where to place White Pom Pom Xenia in a reef tank and water flow
I had it at the bottom a few days and then moved it in the middle with low water flow and low to medium light but does not open or pulse.
thanks

Try moving it up to moderate light and moderate flow.

Also make sure that temp, PH, and Salinity are pretty rock stable.

Temp 78 PH 8.3 salinity 1.025
you think it needs more light?

Move it to where you have the best water current.
Lights are penty. You may want to add some more blue light.
Good Luck

The last time I kept xenia I had 220 watts of blue light,220 watts of 50/50 on a 75g.
A ton of water current. They thrives and multiply like crazy.
I couldn't give them away fast enough.

From my experience xenia does not need alot of light, but good flow. Better with more blue than white light.
