Firstly i'll start by saying that the whole reason I became interested in saltwater is because I witnessed the most spectacular sight I have ever seen in my entire life one day at a LFS... it was a 10 gallon tank with a couple clownfish... but what really caught my eye was a pulsing Xenia.. I stood watching it for a LONG time.. I then decided from that moment I would get a fish tank .. make it saltwater .. and buy Xenia. I researched into Xenia before I even had a saltwater tank and learned a lot about them.. aside from exactly how to frag them.. I recently asked on these boards and discovered a method most people were using. I fine tuned that method into my own and started mass producing Xenia.. im still rusty at it dont get me wrong.. but im getting better 
About three-four weeks ago I bought a rock with Xenia on it at a LFS for 59 dollars. It had around 15-20 very decent sized Xenia on it at the time. I cut about 80% of the population of Xenia on that rock and placed them on other rocks. Today I brought two small rocks (about 2-3 inches in size) to the LFS.. the first had 3 Xenia on it and 3 blue mushrooms that I also fragged and placed on that rock (amazingly). The other rock simply had 4 Xenia.. I gave them to the guy and he said 'awesome', then went and placed them directly in his sell tanks. I asked how much can I get for them? He then gave me 40 dollars store credit =c) I must say im very pleased with this... i've spent over 3000 dollars now on my tank and FINALLY I hope to stop dipping into my wallet... it was never really my intent to make that 3000 dollars back.. but I do hope that I can at least just not pay out of my pocket for my hobby.. thats what I wish to do.
I hope this makes you all wanna go get some Xenia If anybody wants to trade other coral for Xenia and actually plans on going through with the trades unlike the last 4 people i've talked to on here.. feel free to email me at gmcbobbie@yahoo.com - place Xenia in the subject as its my mothers email =c)
