wilson Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 well because i love xenia so much i thought i would propagate xenia how would be the best way to do this. i have been doing it a bit in the past few months with limited success often a few frags go missing within a few days (i think eaten) i cut an arm off the parent colony let it find a resting spot and let it join onto the coral sand then after a few days i super glue the sand its on to a small bit of live rock is this the best way of doing it? also if any one has xenia of any colour or type to get me started that would be greatly appreciated cheers wilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelacanth Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 just remember, cutting an arm off a parent only works in the aquarium.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 :lol: will it count if i find a 8 foot tank put my parents in then cut off an arm :lol: i could do with an extra person to order me around :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I cut a branch off and rubber band it onto a small coral rock, making sure that most of the branch is in a crevice so that the rubber band does not just cut the whole way through before the xenia attaches... Thats the way i do it and I know most others do it that way too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I've got xenia that need pruning - I think you know the ones I have. If you're interested let me know. In fact I may also have one a piece of rock spare once I get my new corals in tonght. I also found a xenia video on You Tube: (hope the link works).
