Funny that Hackman mentioned Xenia. I can't get rid of the freakin stuff. It's taking over my tank! I was hoping to fund my new additions while getting rid of the Xenia, but so many people are just giving it away, I haven't had any luck. That was a huge newbie mistake. The very first piece of coral I bought was Xenia.

Bring me some! I would like to try some in my tank... Ive had bad experience with it in the past, as it normally melts.

James, whenever you want the PJ cardinals I've got some for you. I'll catch them whenever... now that I managed to get Rob's sixline out of my wife's tank I feel invincible.

James I have plenty of xenia for you in the restaurant tank. They like dirty water though.

James, I'll bring you some this weekend along with the chaeto (sp?). Smoothie is right, they do like dirty water. They seem to thrive the best when I neglect my water changes. From the sound of other people's experience, I'd venture to guess they aren't big fans of calcium and alk dosing, either. It seems those that have trouble with Xenia have success with the stony corals. Just a guess, though...
