-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!

That depends ther are alot more hardier spices to keep. Pulsing xinia is a moderate care level coral.

You left out Rosemary. Simon & Garfunkel would be disappointed.

My blue legged hermit crabs seem to be eating mine. It was a beautiful piece I bought from a fellow canreefer - but each day it is losing more and more of the pulsing thingys. My hermits are all over it so I think they are the culprits.

Isn't xenia sensitive to alkalinity or something? Could that be the problem?

Maybe it just missed you
