Yeah they aren't SUPPOSED to be on the glass but they don't listen to me for crap
I fragged one little sprout onto a sea shell. Well it "Fragged itself" into several small sprouts about 2 days after I cut it. I had the shell moved out of the way so I could slice & dice some mushrooms and placed it too close to the front glass. A day later one of the Xenia frags "walked" off the shell onto the glass. We watched it slowly slide up from the sand level to about 4"s off the sand and just stop. Then from there it split into two. The one of those split again and now in the lower right that one has split again. The GOOD news is that once I move all the LR into the 90g tank and convert this over into a full time FRAG tank I'll have PLENTY of Xenia glass on the back and both sides. It can grow all it likes then. I'll probably cut those off the glass and attached them to plugs or disks shortly and sell them at our next frag meet.
Yes those palys eat more than you could ever imagine. And the growth from concentrating Mysis to them is phenomenal to say the least. The side that get the flow from the power head (and hence more cyclopeeze and Mysis action) are probably DOUBLE in some instances to the other side. I'm gonna frag those puppies off next.
