I had problems with my 1st frag. How rough was it handled as it was transfered? I think that's what did mine in. I was far more careful the 2nd time. Also...mine seemed to like a lower temp as well...when I got it below 80 they seemed to apprciate it. My lfs told me that they need iodine as well...any idea what your iodine lvls are?
As to if it's dead...mine let go of the rock and looked really shrivled up. Oh yeah...there isn't much that smells worse than dead Xenia...it's pretty gross.
