    Default Xenia?

    I got some xenia from another member yesterday. I got home and when I put it in the tank I tried to put it in between rock crevices to get it to stick; I tried this on and off for at least an hour. So here it is floating all over the tank. I finally got some good advice and used super glue gel to attach it to some rubble and it worked ^_^ But I think through the moving from its original tank and me working with it for so long I really stressed it out because this morning its all slumped over and not really pulsating. Will it liven back up or melt away. All my parems are spot on and look great. I just did a water change 3-4 days ago using RO/DI salt water I bought from phenominal aquatics/wolf reef. Anyone have any thoughts on if it will survive or not. I have heard that it grows like weed for some and not at all for others.

    if they didn't stick with the super glue try using some wooden tooth picks through the foot part of the flesh and then pin them onto the rock or area where you want them to adhere. the thing about xenia is that they thrive like weeds in one tank and die in others. good luck
