Pics of new xenia

[fishcounter]

I recently picked up my first coral. I know that xenia can and will grow like a weed, but I love it. I am prepard to do lots of pruning I bought this lovely silver tip xenia that pulses very well. It was a pretty good size when i bought it, so i decided to frag it into 4 small pieces using Robs handy xenia fragging techniques. Check out the pics.

This is a pic of the whole tank right after I acclimated the xenia and before it was fragged.


Here is a close up before I fragged it a few days later:



And here is an after shot once it was fragged:


I was really scared after I fragged it. It didn't like me for a few days. Its understandable though, considering the fact that I diced it up. Now however, it is doing really well. All four pieces are full, have great coloration, and are even pulsing. Its beautiful!

ED , that sure was a big sucker as a first purchase! & great work on the frag beginings. a load off the sholders knowing u can do it now isn';t it! this sort of stuff expands your mind and confidence for the harder & more technical stuff!
well done. still like that set up too
