Default sick xenia

i was on holidays for a few weeks and when i got back my xenia wasnt doing so hot. it was the size of a football (on a single rock) before i left and now its shrivelled right up to the size of a golf ball. All my other corals seem to be doing ok, i did a large w/c after i got home and that seemed to liven up the gsp which was a little lethargic but the xenia is about to kick it- any ideas?

They are hardy, but sometimes they seem more sensitive to certain things. When I treated my tank for cyano, my xenia died in a HURRY. All the other corals were fine. Some people think they show symptoms of bad health when something is amok....

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

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

Neil,
If you do need another xenia, let me know. I can give you one that is a fair size, maybe not as big as a football but quite big. Mine has exploded in my tank and wouldn't mind getting rid if some. So if you need any you would really be helping me out.
