Ideal place for xenia

[Siaokia]

ALAMAK...topic abit wrong..now cannot edit...sorry

Jus bought a small frag of xenia today..and found a problem to where i should place it...i`ve been reading up and sources says that they require strong to moderate water movements...heres the problem...i`ve rescaped my tank, moved my power head and still couldn`t find a suitable place....now its temporarily in a spot afew centimetres infront of the powerhead but only a small section is open but is brutally blown about by my powerhead(which is quite lousy)...can i put it somewhere much farther frm the powerhead?

I`m worried that the currents might be too weak....any ideas guys?

If you want to see the pulsing action of your Xenia, put is further away from your power head.

BTW, yours is brown or white one? I keep both but I observe that brown one tends to crash easily! So watch out

Actually, they only need mild current, and as long as the water isn't dead at that area of the tank, its okay...

I think maybe you bought the cousin of Xenia, the so-called "Waving hand" coral, this coral looks similar to Xenia but not the pulsing type

How long has it been not open up? If you notice it keeps shrinking smaller and smaller, then it died soon. Mine was doing well but it just died within few days
