No wonder they're unhappy
Your tank is still cycling. I would suggest making daily water changes to help ease the stress of the
ammonia and
nitrite levels. Xenias are pretty hardy so hopefully, they'll pull through. How big is your tank? And do you have any other inhabitants in there besides the hitchhikers? It's my understanding that xenias like nutrient rich water but don't take my word for it. My current
nitrate level is less than 5 and
phosphate is undetectable.
This is when I first got them
Here they are 7 months later, a mere few inches underneath 250W 10k
MH!
I love em, but they are starting to get out of hand and shading some of my other corals. Time to
frag!!
