    Hi Guys,

    I added a few more coral frags to my tank and had a few questions. I added a kenya tree, some pulsing xenia, a neon pineapple tree, and a blue ridge coral frag. The xenia and kenya tree have really opened up and seem to be doing well. I am not really familiar with the neon pineapple or blue ridge. I didn't see a lot in the books I have or on the net. Any tips on these would be appreciated. I was wondering if xenia stings other corals. They are pretty close to my mushrooms right now but neither one seems to mind.

    I was also wondering if there was something creates a blanket effect. I would like to cover the long rock in the middle with something that would blanket the rock. It is in a part of the tank that gets good water movement. Thanks in advance!!!

    Regards,
    Ivy

    Green star polyps or clove polyp will blanket for you

    Xenia will sting other corals but other corals will sting back. You should be able to identify any confrontations between corals and hopefully frag or move corals before it becomes a problem.

    For a blanket I would go with the Neon GSP.
