I recieved one ripped real bad several months ago. i put it in the tank anyway. The next day it was not on the rock it came attached to. It had completely ripped off.

I never gave it much thought until 3 weeks later i am studying the tank and I see it whisping in the current behind some live rock. :jumping: It is doing well and I squirt some food back to it every now and agian.
Hope that helps, good luck.

Put it in.
Xenia does not ship well.
Let us know how you make out.

Sorry to hear this but there is some good news..
Xenia are pretty hardy!
I would put it in the tank, in an area where the flow is medium at best. If the spot at its base is torn then the slower flow will keep it from getting worse.
Don't worry too much these guys grow like weeds. About every 4 months I take frags of mine to the LFS and trade it in or it would take over my tank!
