Xenia is a good indicator of poor water quality...
As in if its alive and growing you have good water.. but if its dead like that there is probably something wrong with your water. post the resalts of your tests and people will point out what is wrong and how to fix it.

Check your Mag and you need to raise your PH a bit. Xenias like PH of 8.1 or higher, and I've found best success for myself at around 8.3. When mine were not looking so good a while back I was told to get my mag up so I changed salts to RBS because it had more Mag in it and the Xenias responded quickly. I am now using D-D h2ocean pro + aquarium salt (little higher Cal and the bonus of being a bit cheaper the RBS) and it has continued to show good results for everything in my tank.
