    Your link is not working.

    I like Xenyia too. I've got a big colony that needs to be fragged pretty bad but I'm afraid to try it.

    very easy to care for. They don't like a lot of current, as it will stop them from pulsing. It's amazing to watch the colonies climb up towards the light, they started at the midpoint of my tank and all slowly multiplied and climbed higher and higher. It took a few weeks but was very cool to see. They're def my fav xenia variation.

    Neat. I didn't know they would grow that fast. What size tank do you have?
