Re: Xenia moving?

If you don't want it crawling up the rocks, place it high in the tank. Make sure it is surrounded by smaller rocks that you can remove (take your frags and sell them or give them away). Make sure the waterflow does not aim it down the rocks. I have found that I like mine on the bottom of the tank. I place a separate rock in the sand in the front. Then I lean a few smaller rocks around it to give them something to grow on. Once they attach to the smaller rocks, I slice it with a razor blade and then I can then sell or give away the frag. They don't touch any other rock or coral in the tank. So far this process as worked the best for me. My biggest xenia is actually one of my frags but the closest rock to it has frogspawn on it, so it stays contained. I try and keep it fragged enough that it doesn't encroach on the frogspawn.
