did i just kill my xenia?

[xd]

well due to some aquascaping that i did today, i had to remove my xenia from a rock. so i cut it off from the rock at the base. right now i placed it in a low flow zone on the sand bed, will it recover from this or did i just kill it? and for anyone who has ever fragged xenia, have you ever noticed the smell they give off? this is the first time i have fragged xenia so it kinda caught me by surprise.

im sure you didnt kill it,almost impossible to. i usually use a rubber band and secure the frag to a small rock. as far as the smell goes, well they just plain stink!

unless you got it all off the other rock it will regrow there also

Yes the smwll really really bad, and dosent wash off easy. I dont really think you can kill that stuff. Mine melted in my 150 gal tank, I had moved a few small pices of rock to my smaller tank, and I just found on that had very tiny xenia growing on it. Yah I thought I had lost it all.

You are most likely going to end up with 2 colonies now since the base that you left on the rock should grow back.
