I just received a frag of pulsing pink xenia that was shipped to me. It was in transit about 24 hours.
Its actually about 4 small clumps on a piece of coral bone. I looks very bad. When I received it, it had shifted into an air pocket in the bag and was out of the actual water. I did not acclimate it. I just put it in the tank. it looks so close to death that I didn't want to wait for that.
The xenia still has arms and some fingers too. But I held it in front of a power head to blow off some dead parts. I think I could probably blow just about all of the fingers off if I held it there long enough. :(
My question is, where should I place it in the tank in hopes of it recovering? Close to the 36watt pc lighting or on the sand? Strong flow or slow flow?
This is in a 7.5 gal nano tank.
