sick xenia
i was on holidays for a few weeks and when i got back my xenia wasnt doing so hot. it was the size of a football (on a single rock) before i left and now its shrivelled right up to the size of a golf ball. All my other corals seem to be doing ok, i did a large w/c after i got home and that seemed to liven up the gsp which was a little lethargic but the xenia is about to kick it- any ideas?

They are hardy, but sometimes they seem more sensitive to certain things. When I treated my tank for cyano, my xenia died in a HURRY. All the other corals were fine. Some people think they show symptoms of bad health when something is amok....

could certainly be the temp- with this nice weather my tank has been going between 84-88 degrees when it normally is set at 80

-gotta admit, my xenia is NOT active or productive when the temp hits 84+,
but then all species differ a bit, mines the pulsing xenia and u don't get much hardier than this coral!
