My pulsing xenia

[ty_05_f]

I had know idea this stuff grew so fast. I have had this stuff in my tank for two weeks and it's spreading like mad. I love this coral but how do i control it??? Also how aggressive is this coral?? Thanks

They're not aggressive. What you can do is take some and trade them at your lfs. Or, you can sell them here. I'm sure people will buy them.

hey if your look to sell some ill would be interested in buying them just let me know how much...

its pretty hard to control, the only way i know is to surround it with more aggressive corals. Id propagate it every month or so and get credit from your fish store. Good Luck

Yeah, just like A&M Aggie 04' mentioned, put it among the agressive corals like LPS or Leathers.
P.S. Ones you have that xenia in your tank and you wanna get rid of it.... it's almost impossible.
Propagation tip: You can torn pieces of xenia and attach 'em to the piece of rock with sewing string. Few days later when new polyps start pulsing just remove that string.
Good luck!!!

Thanks guys and gals I think I will frag it and sell it back to the lfs, I really don't want to sell it on here b/c of all the hassle of finding shipping, packing etc...

I only have one lps coral and i don't want to move it or the xenia, and the little clown has taken to the bubble for its home. I guess I will just have to trim it myself.

If they grow like mad does that make them an easier coral to keep?
Would I be able to get away with it wit my lights?

phil you may be ablr to at the top of the tank but i would not try xenia seem to like higher light levels like 4 w. +
