    Does anyone know where I can get some thick stalk Xenia because every where I look all I find is the small stuff that spreads but does not get big? I live in MASS, so if anyone lives close by I'll pay you for some.

    A xenia is a xenia, it just depends on its surrondings ;)

    Its silver branch pulsing, it grows like weeds on steroids in my tanks. I too live in MA so send me an email if you still want some. Stalks on some are well over 1" in dia and 8" in height. I had to start a 55gal long tank to hold / grow the cuttings I make. I sell a lot of it to the LFS and reefers in the area.

    garf.org has any kind of xenia that you can think of.they don't have a price list.their a non-profit company that studies ways of keeping reef tanks with a minimum impact to our natural reefs.i saw pictures of the xenia you seek on their site so they have them.

    From what I have read, thick stalk xenia, is alot more difficult to grow than regular xenia. Just keep that in mind when you decide to put some in your tank.

    yeah wild collected thick stalk xenia are hard to keep.thats why i suggested garf.org cause they have some that they've been propagating and keeping successfully.i think their called bali but its been awhile since i was on their site.its hard to navigate.

    Yea I just checkout out their web site and you can buy 7 frags of certain corals for 100 dollars. So not that bad of a deal but I don't want to spend that much right now, so I'm looking for someone who has it in their tank and wants to get rid of some.
