is it closed or melting? its hard to tell by that pic..

[Bon142]

what's the difference?

[MileHighFish]

well xenia will pull their arms in tight (closed), it will look like there are little balls at the top of the xenia. often people have them melt and they literally melt and look runny.

can you get a closer pic?

Xenias will look like that after the ride home or anytime that they are disturbed, but they come back. I swear you cant kill them. I have had them on a rock out of the tank , I tried to scrub them off the rock....3 days later they were back waving in the flow.

Just wait........they are going to grow all over the tank & fast. Your going to wish you could kill them....LOL

xenia are very strange. some times they do great, sometimes they just melt away. nobody has a definite answer, but they just seem to melt away sometimes.
