I got some Xenia and they were doing great, they probably doubled in size and number in about a week. Then they started looking "thin" and stopped pumping as much.
I've heard that they need nitrates to be healthy. I've also recently added a hefty bunch of Chaeto. I took the Chaeto out temporarily to see if the Xenia looks better soon.
Obviously everything else in the tank looks great and my water quality is excellent.
I would also suspect that if the Xenia requires nitrates that their growth would be self limiting since the more growth the less nitrates available to them.
Any thoughts?
