 |  Another Xenia Question
My xenia doesn't pulsate...Is that OK? *I've seen so many other specimens that do... *It opens up wide during the day but no pulsating. *It seems healthy but just wondering.. 
Also It seems my xenia is spreading. *I saw a little tiny xenia on the underside i=of the same rock the first is on. *Can I move this little guy or will it kill it? *If I can how do I reattach it to another rock. *Or finally, should I just leave it alone, let it be and let it grow in it's own. 
(I'm adding a few drops of "Reef Complete" twice a week to keep Ca++, Mg+ and Strontium levels nice for the Xenia and My new big beautiful Rose...  )

well, 8.2 isn't too bad. Mine was at 7.9 for ages, whatever I did. Nothing seemed to care, just he xenia wasn't pumping | |
