sick xenia

[LeeR]

Mine really doesn't like temps above 80. If it goes even to 81 the xenia shrivel up for a few days... but maybe there all a bit different

[Neil]

could certainly be the temp- with this nice weather my tank has been going between 84-88 degrees when it normally is set at 80

-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.
