Kenya tree

[seanathen]

Anyone ever seen one pinch off it's own arms? Mine has basically "shed" a couple of arms. The arm starts to look like it's got an invisible rubber band right at the trunk, and then I find the arm in the sand a few days later. Other than that, looks healthy as can be.

they do that when they get large enough. if you don't catch em they'll spread like a weed!

i've heard of xenia doing the same thing

It's not even that big....maybe 5" tall. I figured it was just reproducing, but I've had kenyas that were the size of a football before they started doing that....

They frag themselves

my pom pom xenia ARE doing it too, but instead of dropping arms, they are moving like an anenome. Only they leave a trail of body from where they were to their new spot. One of them even did this right through the middle of a zoa colony!

keep an eye on those buggers, they'll overtake your tank!

I had my 400 over run with a Xenia forest and Kenya tree one also. Got rid of both, now they some how found a way back. Growing out of no where. All Kenya trees do that. If you had a large one that didn't it might have been finger leather or colt coal

Haha it seems that everyone had (have) the same problem... I used to have a 55g full of xenia, very hard to get rid of

There's a guy in town that buys Xenia for big bucks. I cant remember his username, but he always shows up when Xenia is posted for sale. I think he resells it online though

I lost his number but I made about 500 off of selling some

Well **** I just sold over 60 stalks of it to a friend of a friend.... I have maybe 15 kenya trees and more probably by the end of the month. I know the higher you have it in the tank the faster it seems to frag itself. There easier to remove than xenia. I had to sell the rock that the Xenia was on. Crazy! I regret buying those. Kenya not so much, however, if anyone wants one ill pull one out for you anytime.
