Any acclimation for Xenia?

[thegriffin]

Are there any acclimation proceadures for a frag of Xenia? Or do I just drop it in? Are they sensitive to air? Light? I have one coming in about 2 hours and need to know I will assume they will need a spot high up (have PC's) due to light requirements. How about flow? Is high flow a no-no or do they like it?
Thanks ***)

Hard coral to keep...tank raised or caught?
Acclimation: i would recomend the drip method. And i never let anything i put in my tank touch the air except maybe hermits.
Lighting: Ive heard mixed opinions and have ahd mixed results. But the majority of specimens prefer MH.
Flow: Med-High

well really they can go anywhere. I have them all over since it grows like crazy. I have some under VHO and some under PC either way they do good. Stick them where ever you really want to put them. i have some in high flow and some in med flow. Also i would drip them, i do that to most everything i buy. Good Luck with them.

Drip it is then. What do you guys mean when you say high flow? Where I really want to put them is high up in the back corner of my tank. However, the powerhead that is on the oppsite side of the tank (36" away) is blowing toward that spot. There is a pretty good current over there (maybe blowing is more descriptive) and I'm afraid it might be too much. Any thoughts? I just cant picture them constantly being buffetted by flow and like it?

I have Two types white short and light brown long arms . They like to grow and muitply up and away from flow.
Place them in middle at first with a mild flow that just allows the arms to wave back and forth and pulsate.
Once they acclamate and start to split in a couple months you just stick little rocks in their migration path and move them around.
Pretty soon they will take over your tank and you will start throwing them around like weeds.
