Orca members are the best. At the last meeting I was given frags by Goby and Jim. Thank you so much for helping to get our reef started. I wanted to share a couple of pictures of the frags:

First one is one of the ones that Jim gave me, I can't remember the name. Hopefully some one can tell me it's name.

The 2nd is one of the types of Xenia I got from Goby. This is the one he said was ok to put of the rock. It has already started to move off the piece of rock it came on over to the live rock structure.

I have learned so much at the Orca meetings. Thanks for all the help. I have everyone has a safe and happy holidays!

The frag came already attached to a small piece of rock. I put the rock in with my live rock and the Xenia has started moving over to the live rock on its own.

Deepreeftank,

If you have a xenia frag that's not attached to anything you probably don't have to wait long. They will quickly fasten to anything they touch. If you want it to start where you want it to start (a good idea) you can softly rubberband its base to a piece of rubble and in about a week it will be well fastened and probably growing.
