Help Please, I have Xenia frags....

[stephish]

I was given a nice sized frag of Xenia today and i'm not sure how to attach it.... I float acclimated for 45 minutes and then changed a little of the water and then a little more 15 minutes after that and then put it in and now it's kind of settled to the area where I want it. I turned the biowheel off to do this and i know that when I turn it back on it's going to sent the Xenia swimming....
how do I get it attached to a rock?

Rubberband it to the rock.
Or use a straight pin and little piece of rubberband. Put the little piece of rubberband on the pin and then stick the pin through the xenia and into the rock.

You can just wedge it between 2 pieces of rubble and it should attach in 1-3 days.

Rubber band method worked for me on my silver tip Xenia. Good luck :joy:

I just checked the Xenia and so far looking good. It looks like one small branch (?) about an inch long may not make it but so far the rest looks fine.

Sew it on with cotton thread. The Xenia should attach in a few days, the thread will dissolve in a week.
