Appreciate the input guys!

Ididnt acclimate it cause the lfs guy said for xenia it isnt really needed, yea im kinda thinking maybe the tanks too clean but then i had a few snails that died inside too, 4 astrea snails but for the snails i think its cause of starvation?? I has feeding the tank a few pellets every other day tho.

Pulsing Xenia do not travel well and is sensitive to high temperature. So once purchased should head home asap. Especially do not allow temp in bag to go up too much (happens when left too long in bag and exposed to weather), Needless to say you tank should heave a chiller for xenia.

Thank you for the help! Got another xenia, unfortunately the first one really didnt make it, the 2nd xenia frag is doing very well! Did a water change first then acclimated for a good 2 hours before putting it in the tank. It opened up right away!

I guess acclimating anything alive wil be a good rile of thumb. Thanks for everyones help! Happy reefing! 🤙🏼
