Dos xenia like strong, medium, or low flow? When it was in strong flow it was all ways open now its in low flow and its all closed up i only had the xenia for 2 days. Ill post some pics later on today of when it was on strong flow then when it was on low flow.

You don't want to knock them over but they like lots of flow. Mine are at the surface next to a power head & I have to frag every week.

CK you cant keep mucking with it, without letting it get settled in. Put it in high light and medium flow and leave it to get acclimated to its new spot, dont keep playing with it and stressing it out.

Im not moving it around, the first time i got it it was on the sand bed for 1 day and then on the second day i put it on a new spot and i never moved it again and after i put it on the new spot it started to look horible. Is this normal because i only had it for 2 days?

The one thing about XENIA, is that it is a very mysterious coral, with good water permaters which you claim to have and shown us here it will either flourish or disenergrate and there is not much you can do about it, there are many many people here who cannot get it to grow no matter what they try, so just leave it and cross your fingers and pray for the best!
