    Hi Guys,

    I was wondering if xenia drops branches like a kenya tree does. I have about three that have broken off and seem to have re-attched themselves in other places. I tried to pull them out with a siphon but they are definitely attached. They look sick and that is why I thought they were dead. I know that my kenya tree has done this but wan't aware that xenia does that. Thanks!!!

    Things seem to be much better. I don't know that I can say exactly what made it better. I tried so many things that I can't pinpoint it (alk raising, uv sterilizer, major water changes, new sump, new skimmer, aggressive cleaning). It was getting better and then my flame angel died. I think the clown was bullying her and she stopped eating all of a sudden. I almost think that it may have been partially a bioload problem as well. Thanks for asking though. How about yours?

    I got realy sick of it and it was just getting worse so since i wasnt very far with corals I teared it down and started over. i learned that i got the algea from a LR from the lfs and it was feed buy lr die of and over feeding. It was so bad that the algea was feeding off of its self.
