Guest chillypk March 7, 2006 Share March 7, 2006 I know this may seem weird - but does anyone here collect xenia. Not talking about just the elongata and pink pom=poms which can grow like weeds (but a good nutrient export device) I mean weird different ones like on GARF. Thinking about starting a xenia garden for my clowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tang-away March 8, 2006 Share March 8, 2006 what other types of xenia is there? pom pom and silver elongated were the only ones I knew of. I might have seen some blue ones. But anyways, I have a big island of silver elongated probably with 500 stalks and my clowns are happy with my foot wide toadstool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear there is a pink creeper xenia, blue ones, fiji (big fat trunk), giant anthelia (wood's polyps), and probably a lot more. I'll try pulling up a GARF page with some pics but their navigation is a bit of a mess. Lots of hidden pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chillypk March 8, 2006 Share March 8, 2006 Heres a couple of links: http://www.garf.org/fish3/xeniaclown.html http://www.garf.org/news16p1.html http://www.garf.org/news6p3.html Interesting to see that a lot of their data suggests the reef to not exceed 80 or even below 76 degrees. I guess that might be a reason we don't see the other varieties out there in the field. I know my last tank - temps went well over 86 on a bad day - and the xenia - both elongata and pink pom poms were fine and pulsing away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribbean Jake March 9, 2006 Share March 9, 2006 Hi. I might be mistaken but what that site calls Pink Creeping Xenia is more of a Pink Anthelia, fast grower and sometimes may become a nuisance in some SPS tanks. I have so much of it I am killing it with Joe Juice, but I also have the silver and pink pomp pom Xenias if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
