need more info on xenia propogating

[kens]

i tried to cut a piece of my xenia and move it to another rock, the branch was about 3 inches long. i cut it close to the trunk and it shriveled up to the size of a marble, i decided it was too small to try a rubber band so i tried the toothpic trick. i impaled it on a toothpic, the next morning it was gone, i dont know if a crab got it or what, i never found it in the tank or a filter. can someone email or post a very detailed list of how to cut and move xenia. thanks

I've had xenias for quite a while now and have tried a few different methods of propagation. The one that works the best for me (and is the easiest) is to just place a 2"X2" or so piece of rock next the the xenia, just so it touches the trunk. Give it a few days & the coral will soon attach to the rock. Easy as that! HTH
