xenia help pics
ok ive kept xenia before with excelant results, just set up a nano tank its allready cycled all water parim's are good and other corals are doing great, but the xenia frag has never fully stretched out it will extend its arms about 2 inchs then 2 to 3 times a day they will draw up completely its stalk seems full and no signs of illness
first day pic  a week later  and current    since ive added the pics they are starting to extend back out are they maybe feeding?

It may be adjusting to the new light/water. How long did you put in the tank?

My xenia draws up whenever I stir things up in the tank - even slightly. Also right after a water change. My xenia is my most sensitive coral, it seems.

well nothing has been changed or nothing has stir in the tank i just noticed how odd this xenia is, i have had xenia before from my previous tank and it has never acted this way before. that's why i found it very odd

I had one that did this and it ended up losing the stalk and the head just floated around the tank. I put it in a breeder with some rubble and it did okay. I would just leave it alone for a while. I know, you have, but xenia hates being moved and the light is different from where you got it.

I had the same thing happen when I set up my 37 cube and transferred all my 10 gallon nano stuff into it including the water and the sandbed and LR. All the xenia I had (pom pom and elongota) looked like yours and then worse and eventually all died off within a month. I have one small elongota piece that has survived near the bottom of the tank. My guess would also be nutrient poor tank.
