Xenia smackdown?
Last Saturday I got two free Xenia frags (thanks WAMAS members). I placed both of them into a plastic cup with crushed coral.
The next day they were both attached....not only to the coral, but to each other. Since then, the all-brown one is doing great. The stalks are about 3" long, and it's pulsing. The other one, which has silvery polyps, is looking worse & worse, and today the polyps are completely closed. I always assumed that the various Xenia varieties got along...is that not true? I think I already know the answer...should I just cut them apart, move the silver one away, and hope for the best? Thanks for any advice, -R The grey blob on the bottom is the silvery one...sorry for the poor pic |

Not sure how I should move them apart other than with with razor blade surgery, since they're already stuck together...?

One other possibility that I just thought of is that the silvery one is less tolerant of a newish tank or just doesn't like my tank conditions...maybe I was blaming the brown Xenia for what is my fault.
D'oh! -R |
