Is this going to be a problem

Blu3s94 · 11/13/2017, 02:41 PM

My pulsing xenia is getting close to shading out my lps/sps. Also my new rose bubble tip anemone has decided to get very close to the lps. Should I move these or let it take it's course?

i'd be more concerned with the RBTA, mine started stinging my red planet SPS whereas my xenia hasnt affected any of my SPS. good luck.

Ok. I'll have to figure out a way to move the corals. I figured that was going to be a problem. I got him 2 days ago and he has been creeping closer.

Your xenia is in a terrible location. In time it will take over all of your rock and corals. If you want to keep xenia the best way is to let it grow on a side wall of your tank.

yeah any Xenia in a tank is a terrible location!

Did you ever move the corals, hows the anemone doing?

Always have to move them around.

Late response, anemone is doing great. Every other month I have to move corals around and cut back xenia

You're xenia can take over the tank...you'll eventually realize it's a pain in the butt to control. GSP can do the same thing to a lesser/slower degree.

I liked my xenia until suddenly went nuts and it took over and I mean went all over even across the front of the tank.
