Fishy7, is that what it still looks like today, or have you groomed that monkey back? You could make some decent $ off of that stash

I'm still trying to find a lfs that has some white pom-pom Xenia. I have the pink pulsing Xenia and if not kept in check it will grow like a weed (unfortunately lfs won't take the kind I have). If you want to keep it in check. Put it on top of a rock all by itself, not touching another rock (like an island). I've done this and my Xenia has finally stayed put.

Mine actually let go of the rock, blew in the current, and landed halfway across the tank where it promptly began growing.
I placed a BTA in between the Xenia and the rest of the tank. The BTA actually killed the approaching Xenia for a couple of months, then it began retreating as the Xenia just kept marching.
I would suggest finding a LFS. since it does not ship well I would think you could find someone willing to give credit for it.

This pic was taken 3 weeks ago and it is just like that. I harvest once a week and sell to my 3 local LFS. It seems the more I take out the faster it grows. It is a little overkill. Mine all started from one 1" stalk that was given to from a neighbor.
Go figure.

This is the reason I still keep a close eye on him. If I see his foot starting to come up I'm pulling him out. So far he seems to be stuck pretty good to his rock. So we are good.....for now.
