I have been having a lot of trouble with my xenia in the last few months. It all started when I had a temp spike up to 88 or so degrees. I lost my monster colt, which I removed as soon as I caught him dieing off but he had decayed some, anyway this was about a month ago or so now. The xenia which used to be plentify and run most of the top of the tan (around 4 feet long) has all but died back to about 15 stocks and still doesnt look that healthy. Im a bit at a loss on what I am missing with it. I have done several water changes, not changed the light cycle at all and the temp is stable again at 81.
Water parameters:
ph 8.3
sg 1.024
nitrates 0
nitrites 0
nh3 0
alk 4.00
ca 450

do you have one of those grounding wires in there? from what i have read xenia along with tangs and other delicate corals and fish are extremly delicate when it comes to stray voltage in the tank. if you dont have one i would recomend you to getting one, if you have one already then wait for someone with more exp. to help you out.

No I dont dose anything except kalk, ca and dkh buffer as needed.
My tangs, and all fish are fine, also so are all the other corals.
