Xenia frag dead

[guppylover101]

Yesterday i bought a xenia frag i positied it in a hole in my live rock amd it kept falling of i went to the store amd purchased supergle and glued it .
Is it okay i superglued it or will it die? Annd does it look alive?

We use superglue, 100% cyanoacytane, all the time for gluing frags and such. Did you acclimate the coral to your tank/lighting? It def isn't dead...but sometimes xenia can be picky with things. I've heard of them just not being able to be kept in some tanks for unknown reasons where in others, right across the room, will flourish.

I just tossed a bunch out of my tank. Grows like a weed and is showing up in different parts of the tank

So its not dead and. Also bought green star polyps and wont open either

 

[Sniperhank]

If you didn't acclimate them to the tank or the lighting of the tank, it can take awhile for them to recover to the change in parameters and conditions.

No, Xenia takes longer than most corals to adjust ime

This is the birdsest coral frag my friend gave me and you can see the xenia getting hit ith th poer head nozzle is that okay or should i point it another direction

 

[bribo12]

Don't have it blasting the corals. Indirect random flow is what you want. That birdsnest I'm sure doesn't appreciate the straight blast

 

[guppylover101]

So do i just move the nozzle another way so its not hitting it and their is some flow hitting the birdsnest but not direct im just worried if it will do fine in the lighting i have
