Keep an eye on polyp extension. If they're still retracted after a few days, you might need to adjust further.

For real, Xenia's like that one friend who's always complaining. Either they adapt or they bounce. No in-between.

Also, check your alkalinity. Soft corals can handle high flow better if your params are stable. Mine tank's at 8.5 dKH, and everything's thriving.

Yeah, stability's key. My tank's all over the place, and the Xenia's the first to throw a fit. Leathers and Mushrooms don't care though.

If you're set on Xenia, maybe try a different strain. Some are more tolerant than others. My Pink Xenia handles flow better than the regular kind.

True. My Silver Xenia's way tougher than the standard variety. It's all about finding the right fit for your setup.
