    SM originally told me that Xenia probably wouldn't make it as N and P dropped out. In over a year of running a T5HO scrubber I can verify this is definitely not the case. They grow like wildfire. I try the best I can anymore to keep them at bay but they refuse to die. That and Anthelia / Waving hand grow uncontrollably for me.

    I have had some difficulty keeping some LPS corals like Frogspawn and Branching Hammer. They tend to open up a little after cleaning the screen, then close up tightly toward the end of the cleaning period. Still trying to get a handle on this one. Also for some reason ORA Green Birdsnest took a beating (also due to a dino outbreak). Other SPS, like Red Cap, Green/orange Digitata, Tri-color Valida, just love it. Softies no problem, cabbage leather, toadstool mushroom, Colt, love it. Mushrooms love it. I have some fuzzy mushrooms that got 6" in diameter then in just one day they split in 4. One of the clowns hosts in them they're so dense.

    My wife calls my Waving hand the CLAPPER!!! LOL, its pretty funny. Mine grows real good to. However I could not get a monti cap to grow, only tried once so maybe it was me. I just got a combo brain coral, pineapple on one side and Lobo on the other.

    I think you mean the Pulsing Xenia...Anthelia/waving hand does nothing but sway in the current...
