Went to my LFS today and got some new corals. I got a hammer, rose bubble tip nem and Xenia. Everything looks good but the Xenia is not looking great. I glued it onto a rock that is not connected to my main rock scape. I wanted to try and keep it isolated on one rock. I had to glue them in because they kept floating away. There were 4 pieces of Xenia. The color on them don’t look as good and the pulsing of them is not as good as they were in the store. Anything I should do?

Yup. Well see it does not look good tho
Give it few days and should be ok. Just like the other reefer said, this is a weed coral. Once your tank matures it will take over your tank. I had in when I started reefing and not anymore as it grows like a weed.

Again If you like it, absolutely go for it. It's very hardy and grows fast.

I got this coral knowing that it is a weed. I wanted to try and keep it isolated on this one rock I have.
 
I'm sure it will be fine my tank crashed and I stopped doing water changes for a year and xenia took over I'm pretty sure that stuff could grow in a toilet if it had salt in it
It looks great now
