    Yes, they close up at night.

    In ideal conditions they do grow FAST. I joke that it grows as fast as my lawn. I keep trimming it and fragging it. I could go into the xenia business.

    BTW, if anyone wants some free in NW Chicago just shoot me a PM. I just don't want to mess with shipping.

    I can see a load of new little arms stickin out of my one stalk. The're about 1cm long or so. I can only image what it's gonna be like when I have more than one stalk of it. Should be good practice for me when it's time for fraggin' I hope :)

    ahh yes the silver line xenia...very nice..xenia should attach to other rock pretty quickly...i had a 2 head stalk and now i have ten stalks!they reproduced in a matter of months! they seem to like higher light(IMO)
    i hav found out the following:
    stronger flow=less pulsing+quicker growth
    less flow more light=fastest pulsing+slower growth.

    depends on what you want try placing them accordingly!
    here is a video of my xenia in action(note the lil stalk that has attached to the glass!
