Take a plastic cup and put some rock/rubble in the bottom of it. Put the frags into the cup and set the cup in a low flow area of the tank. The cup will keep the xenia from being blasted away and it will attach to the rock. Works for me anyway :)

when i got my xenia from someone ,all they did cause i was there was just cut with sizzors in the water as close to rock as many stalks you want off the mother colony and put in plastic bag with saltwater in it. then place new frags in your tank against rocks (wedge in ) and it will attach itself ,in about a week. i have mine 1 1/2 months and they have already split again this way.

also if you frag the nice trumpets i would like one. cary1306@yahoo.com

Oh man Xenia is so easy to frag it's ridiculous.
Slice it with a new razor blade and rubber band it to a piece of live rock. Wait 2 days and remove the rubber band.
