I got a xenia frag from a local reefer yesterday, it was pulsing in his tank. Put it in my tank, after a 2 hour drip acclimation, and it has stopped pulsing and doesn't look too good. Some polyps are retracted, there is no pulsing. Is this normal in the first few days?

What lights is it under? I find xenia wont pulse under lower light conditions.

that happens all the time in my tank...that has xenia's growning rampantly. wouldn't be too concerned at all. xenia's like fairly decent flow by the way...

good luck

It was under T5's in the other tank, and I have T5's as well. It has moderate flow.

Whats your PH at ? You get better pulsing when on the high side, over 8.1.
