WHO did it!?

Well, 2 days or 3 days ago, I added a xenia. And today i found out most of the xenia tips were missing *where pulsers are located*
What can be eating the tip of my xenia?

I have hermit crabs, damsel, clown, and snails.
Any idea?

My xenia looks unhappy at the moment, and looks ugly.

 

More likely its just melting for the sake of melting. But if you have a humbug damsel, i believe they are known to nip at xenia

 

do you have a pic? mine close up and look as if they r missing. the stems look normal but the tips look as if they are missing?

 

i agree! +1

 

why would they be melting?
My stems are very short by the way, with missing tip

 

idk thats crazy. i wish my fish would eat some of mine!!! that would save me some time.

 

I hear damsel eats xenia *google*
I thihk my damsel might perhaps be the criminal?

 

Xenia is a funny one. Is some peoples tanks its prolific and grows none stop like a weed. In other peoples tanks, its alright for a while and then just dies. Its very prolific in my tank, i actually wish it would melt, but i guess it is intresting and does add a lot.

What type of Damsel do you have? Im led to believe its onlt the humbugs that nip at it.

 

I have a blue fin damsel.

If the xenia melts, will it cause bit problem for my tank? Do they release like acid or something? I heard anemonies do that.

 

its weed in my tank every other week im trading a stumb or 2 to my local aquarium store
