Hi, I have a Xenia colony that I have had going on 2 years but was not in the proper conditions to grow for about 2-3 months
. I have improved the conditions drastically in the past few months by adding new T5 lighting. The Xenia have responded exceptionally well and have begun to thrive. Prior to the lighting the colony was slowly disappearing as if something was eating them. This caught my attention because I have seen Xenia "melt" before but this time the stalks were literally there one day and gone the next. I didn't panic at first because i knew the conditions were poor and change was in the very near future. Once the lights were changed i still noticed them disappearing for about another 3 weeks. Within the past few days the areas that appeared to be gone have regrown,but now I'm seeing the same issues with my clove polyp colony. I have had them for nearly a month and while the Xenia was struggling the clove polyps looked perfect. Now as the Xenia begins to come back the clove polyps are disappearing like the Xenia had been. I was curious if there is anything that could be eating these, if not would there be any other reason for them to vanish??
