|  Ok, so I just got some Xenia's
Not sure what kind they are, but I got three heads on a piece of live rock. Trying to get a good pic but it's difficult as they are still pretty small.
Ok, managed to get a couple good ones.

Looks like I'm off to my LFS tonight to find a small piece of LR to break into bits. Thanks for the suggestion, baugherb. | |

Move xenia rock away from other LR rock, as it will spread like lighting and be hard to keep under control.
Only keep rock next to it that you want it to migrate to.

Good call Omard. I think I'm going to slip some LR fragments around it to spread to so I can pull those frags out and sell them. If it jumps to my main LR I'll have to adjust flow or move it entirely. For now, I think they look great as a futur center piece to the tank. Thanks. | |
