Xenia
 
I got my new tank all set up on thursday evening - so far it's gone great, no casualties to speak of **knock on wood**

I've had some trouble with aquascaping and placement of the corals,,, but I've finally got everything pretty well place now (I think). The one concern I have is my Xenia is getting blown around in the current quite a bit... He's still pulsing away happily when the lights are on, but I'm wondering if he shouldn't be a little more sheltered? He's not in the direct stream of a powerhead or anything, but still seems to be waving all over the place. Any advice for the appropriate current?

Thanks,
Ian

They like to be in almost any current, but I think they do prefer a strong flow. There tuff suckers :eek:

I find my xenia does better, and looks nicer in a low flow area.

Thanks for the input guys... like I said, they're still pulsing away, so unless something changes I think I'll leave them where they are. They get blown around so easily that the current probably looks a lot stronger than it is. I guess I'll just keep a close I on them
