Ok guys i went and got some frags today from a fellow reefer i got about 8 stalks of Xenia and 3 heads of candy corals and some zoos. ill post some picks tomorrow after i get my camera back from my parents i left it over there.
Well my question is for the Xenia can i crazy glue the bottoms to the LR. I already acclimated them and out them in my Frag tank which is a PICO 3G from JBJ. They are pulsing really nice. Sis it safe to use the crazy glue to glue the base onto the LR. Ill post the pictures tomorrow thx guys

I've just used suger glue gel right on the bottom of the Xenia and had no problems at all, it should stick right away.

The Super glue doesn't really work right on Xenia IME, I rubber band the stock to a rock, by the time the rubberband rotts off they will be plenty attached.

Hey Wiskey going this way how long would it take for the Xenia to attach its self to the LR and also would the rubber band leach any toxins into the tank? thx guys

How long should it take a zenia to start pulsing? I got one friday and I pulsed for a little, but just barely. Then it stopped, and hasn't pulsed again. It is just got it's tips curled up.

Booboo, xenia don't always pulse. If they are in moderate-high flow sometimes they will just look like waving-hand xenia. Try moving them to a place with lower flow ans see if they start pulsing. Also, it may just be that they are not acclimated to the conditions of your tank yet.

I dry off the bottom of my Xenia base, and dry off the spot of the rock its going on. Im sure its not necessary, but it binds almost instantly.
