Does anyone know how long Xenia can last out of water?

I am about to move a 20 gal that has xenia on the back glass near the top. I'll have to drain the tank at least half way down to move it and will not be able to fill it for an hour or so.

Keep it damp and it should be fine for that hour; drape wet paper towels over it.

as long as you see that they are moist they should be fine.

you could get a spray bottle of saltwater and every few mins keep spraying it

Just to follow up and let others know the results, i drained most of the tank, put paper towels over the xenia and also some sps, and refilled the tank in about an hour.

No casualties.
