WOW Goblin, nice patch of xenia. Great color and shape.
What are you using for lighting? Would you say the xenia is under strong or low current ?

Interesting about the pumps but if it's working and it appears it is, go with the flow (pun intended).
Just looked at the pics again and WOW, I love the brilliant color of that patch. Nice work man.

check this out. I actually pay for most of my supplies by exchanging xenia with my LFS. Every week I harvest about 12 stalks and bring it in. If I didnt, it would take over all of my glass!!
If you look close, you can see that it is growing on the magnet at the far end of the tank. This lets me grow it where I want it.

Not Mine, but dominated
Not my tank, fellow reefer (benf here on RC). This is one of his MANY tanks.

This tank is filled with umbellata. I have to pull at least 12 stalks every 2 weeks. I've tried giving some away but nobody wants to drive to stamford ct to pick some up.
Theres also a huge green sinularia that i will be thinning out. Again if anyone wants to pick it up for free pm me.

NIIIIIIICE! Nice xenias everyone.
Does anyone have pics of a tank that is covered with blue cespitularia? I'd like to see that! |

well guys, a year later and I regret to say that my whole Xenia infestation ended up in a mishap. I re-aquascaped my tank so I took all the corals out (the Xenia covered 2 HUGE live rocks), put them in the sump and forgot about them. When I did a water change 2 weeks later, they were GONE
I have converted to an SPS dominated tank since then..

This may be a dumb question, but. When you say Nutrient rich water. What are the Nutrients?

I read a SPS tank needs a less nutrient tank compared to soft corals. I was just wondering what are the nutrients?
Does it mean Phytoplankton and things like that? |

I have been fighting to get rid of xenia in my tank. It will not quit growing. I keep mine cornered off by a frogspawn. I have given away god knows how many frags of it and it will not stop growing. I have ripped pieces off the rock only to have it regrow. I know now why they call it the weed of the ocean. I recently converted to sps so I cant have those stray pieces laying around. They would even grow over my zoas. The only things that will stop it are anemones and euphylia.

I couldn't wait to get a nice fat stalk of xenia growing and all I can say now is be careful what you wish for. I find little stalks growing out of and in between everything. I had a big old snail that had a good sized stalk growing on his back.

LOL my royal urchin carries pieces around with him. The xenia are not fond of it so I pull them off and throw them in the refugium.
