Pulsing Xenia Care and Growth


Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

Hey all, have seen a lot of reefers on this platform having a lot of success with keeping Pulsing Xenia. Have been keeping other soft corals and zoas and even some LPS like hammers in my 32gal, but so far I haven't had any success with this seemingly "beginner" coral. Anyone has any advice on how to keep them? My tank parameters are as follows:

salinity: 1.026

nitrate: 25 ppm

phosphate: 0.1 ppm

pH: 8.15

alkalinity: 7.0 dkh

calcium: 415 ppm

I understand that my nitrate level may be a little high for my reef tank, and the alkalinity could also be higher for the corals. I do 10% water changes weekly and I am using a HOB skimmer and filter. With my current experience with xenia, they just stop pulsing and after a few weeks they start shrinking and melting. Is there any specific parameter I am missing out on? I have heard that I need to look at my magnesium levels and should I dose trace elements? Thanks in advance and if anyone in the west has any spare frags for me to try again, i would gladly appreciate it :lol:

Xenia is probably the easiest to grow...I do think your nitrate is a bit high but again, it shouldn't impact Xenia grow as I had worst water parameters and my Xenia still grows

It might be your lights & water flow - again, i had lower ALK but still my Xenia grew.

The rest of the parameters seem spot on so again, might be your lights & water flow. What's your PAR?
