Xenia questions and concern??!!!

[aloysiusii]

I have had my Xenias for about 8 months and I noticed to day they have closed up so much that they look like they are inside of a tube like thing... What could this be? All perameters are key on. Feed them daily with a ocean mix that I have made on my own includes all types of critters all blended up and frozen then taken out and put in a glass full of aquaium water to defrost then injected into the area of the Xenia. What is going on please help>>

Have you changed your lighting? Flow? Anything bothering them thats new?

What Alkalinity level is "key on" in your opinion?
You should stop trying to feed your Xenia. They have no digestive system and cannot eat.

I just thought of this but I had a problem with aiptasia and I had to inject them with lemon juice. Could that have caused them to retract and look dead??

If you used enough juice to lower the PH then yes.
