Xenia

What can I put in the middle of that xenia to be there and not disturbe each other. Some LPS or SPS....?
Tnx

I'm thinking most Lps will sting the xenia , but if you make a small platform from a piece of skeleton above the xenia you might be able to get away with duncans , hammers or something else aslong as the flow won't push the sweepers into the xenia.

Yes, something like that.....maybe red goniopora...up there waterflow is strong...

Just keep an eye on the xenia so it doesn't climb the platform

I have a rogue torch growing just above a colony of Xenia and like the look; it does reach down occasionally and do some"pruning" which is not a bad thing imo.

Torch polyp found its way to top of tank after a bailout or rough cleaning (I think) and has done well, although it is not a very good neighbor to the Xenia. Normally, I trim Xenia with bone cutters, but this is much easier I don't have any worries that it will grow taller in this spot. I have a frogspawn in this tank which also keeps Xenia at bay.

Yours is a beautiful, healthy specimen and would be a good contrast piece to some gorgs, etc. Vetterguy has some good suggestions.
