Anything I can do to speed it up healing, and keep it from dying?

Xenia are a good canary in the coal mine. If they are ticked then there is a chemical floating around, likely protomarin or nitrates. Shriveled xenia is a good sign of chemicals, closed or slow pulsing polyps (on a once pulsing specimen) is usually water quality.


What can you do to help it? Don't bother it. Just keep everything stable, clean and don't do too much at once.
