Silver Xenia won't go away!

Anyways! The best title I could come up with, hahaha! After my mishap when I transferred my 40b in to the 72 bow front I had lost 3 Corals. One being my Silver Xenia colony.
Today I watched a hermit crap try to change shells and I got a closer look and to my surprise seen this.
3 tiny little Silver Xenia polyps on this shell, hahaha!! I am sure in no time that shell will be covered with them.

 

xenia on the move! Holy Cow, good luck with that! lol

 

i saw someone from a reef club around me had a hermit with a mushroom on its shell it was pretty neat!

 

I've had little bits fall off my xenia colony and start to flourish where they've dropped to I know some people hate xenia but I really like them especially the lighter colored ones. Just put the shell where you want them to grow! Congrats on finding them.

 

Gratz! I love xenia. Its so hypnotic to watch a large specimen opening and closing. At my LFS they have a 20gal cube just filled with a large white xenia. I could sit there for hours and watch it

 

Will this is what the shell looks like now, I have it by a small rock. Kind of scratching my head on the thought if I should let it go.

 

wait...so the shell never had hermit crab in it?

 

Yes at first, it did eventually switch shells, it took awhile to find the shell with the Zenia on it, but eventually they got so big that I was able to find them in a back corner of the tank

 

I'm trying to coax my rabbitfish into eating xenia.....I hate the stuff and it's just growing like crazy in my tank. For those who say it doesn't like clean water I say.....WRONGO PAL-O!

 

Xenia will grow fast in anything, actually clean water is where Xenia thrives if properly feed
