Thanks Bang, but is there not any way to make it happen? You wouldn't want to take the chance? Should I try and get some at the lfs? The lfs sells them for like $80.00 for a small rock.

OK kip I will first check in okc for people that might frag some for me, if that doesn't work out I will contact you.
Do you have full tank shots? Are you going to reset up your corner?
Bang do you have a full tank shot too?

When shipping xenias you could try the following:
Attach the small rock with the xenias to a piece of styrofoam securely. Float the stryofoam in a plastic bag so the there is no easy way for the frag to get flipped over. Fill the bag a full as possible so the xenias will always be in water even if the package flips and tumbles while in transit. Put styrofoam peanuts around the bag to hold it in place. You may have a better survival rate. shipped this way.
I guess you could also use a smaller piece of styrofoam to keep them afloat, and it would move as needed to keep them in the water, and keep the rock from tumbling on them and smashing the polyps... I have never tried this method, but I have transported other soft corals this way before with excellent luck. (8-10 hr car rides)
Best wishes,
Kelly

Thanks kelly, we might have to do it that way when I decide what to do.
Thanks again,

Is it safe to put styrofoam in the water with the coral??? I thought it was super toxic? Maybe I am reading it wrong. Do you put the rock in the styrofoam and then put it all in the water? I am getting ready to transport Xenia so I am going to try this method but wanna make sure I don't screw up.

he is saying to rubberband or tie the xenia to a piece of styrofoam either by the stalk or the rock it is connected too.

I love that corner tank, it sure was awesome and I'm sure you miss it
So as of now the corner if for little things until the coralline grows and you can go sps, or do you just sell the sps?
The rack tanks are cool too, is that a pink hammer on the top right of the bottom tank, I want it:D Can't wait to see the corner come back together as an sps tank with all the awesome frags etc. in the tank. I can't wait until I get those 250w hqi's then you will have to start sellin...lol.

Man kip can't wait to see the summer project of yours, and that hammer is nice. That will be a good tank for the rics, zoos, xenias, after so long it will be filled to the brim and you will be makin some money at the lfs for about 1/3 the cost of the sps, even on ---- you could try to sell some.
Eric from the pic they look good, as far as I can tell. That dragonnet looks happy too.:D
