Xenias look bad

[jfields47]

My Xenias are not opening up and pulsing like they have previously. I have tested everything in the tank and levels are within their range. Just as a precaution, I took some water to my LFS and it tested the same. I am attaching some pics. So if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.

how long have you had them in the tank? what kind of light do you have them under????

How long have they been like that? Usually they close right after lights on and lights off.

They've been in the tank for over a month now. Initially, they were doing great and then slow started to get this way. They've been this way for 2 weeks. They are under PC's.

I would keep an eye on them, also what is the temp in your tank, they are very picky when it comes to temps, that is why they are hard shippers. see what the diff is on your temp from day to night. if you have too big of a swing that may be affecting them as well

I've been watching them closely because I don't want them to harm anything else in the tank if they go south. Everything else look good in the tank. Temp is 81 with lights and 79 to 80 at night.

hmmmm, yep your temp is good. The only other thing that I can say is xenia is just a weird little critter, I have it in one of my tanks that grows literally quicker than I can handle. and in another tank it barely grows at all. in the tank it does well in, some days is pulses like CRAZY and some days it barely moves. They still havent found out why it pulses. they think it has something to do with gathering food. I would just keep an eye o n it. Good luck

some xanias just dont pulse at all ,some do all the time others at various times as for your temp try lowering your temp to 77-78 i found with soft corals they fair better in cooler temps be sure they in a good water flow area i hiope this helps
