xenia question


I got some new stuff yesterday. Two of the things I got were xenias. One is brown with green stripes, and the other is pink. They kind of pulse alittle yesterday after they were acclimated in the tank. Then this morning they are extended but the ends look like loosely clenched fist. Should I just wait a little longer or is there something else I should do while I'm waiting. I also got a sailfin, and a cleaner shrimp, but before bed the shrimp was almost dead. This morning it was no where to be found. The sailfin ate some nori so it is doing well. The shrimp was my only casualty. They just got them day before yesterday at the shop so I don't know if the guy at the LFS will reimberse me or not. What a loss of $35.00.

I agree with Casey, let them be and watch them.

Okay I will. I noticed this morning they are still closed. I just can't wait to see them pulsing like crazy in there. I really hate that I lost the shrimp. I don't know if he was just unstable when I got him, or if he needed more acclimation.
