zenia missing

[edd]

i wanted to grow pulsing zenia on my over flow, so i cut 4 pieces and secured them with rubber bands to over flow box yesterday morning. last night they were still their, got up this morning their gone, can't find them. any ideas who took them and am i going to have zenia growing all over the tank. i have 4 tangs, 2 clowns, 2 blood shrimp

xenia move around. mine migrated from a rock touching the back wall all the way to the upper right of wall... also i wouldn't rubber band the soft tissue of the xenia to the rock. i would try to gently stick them in a crevice with an area of low flow so the "foot" can naturally attach itself

personally i would thank them for disapearing but if you like them next time get a flat piece of rock or piece of a frag plug use a piece of a pvc pipe that will surround the whole rock in a real low flow area put the zenia in there and in a day or 2 they will attach then take that flat rock and glue it to the over flow

thanks for the reply. could you recommend something to put on box.

Maybe one of those rock shelves that attach with magnets. Just put some of them up and put coral on them

Zoas will grow on overflow boxes also. Best to glue them on there using a small piece of rock rubble and eventually they will grow off the rock and onto the overflow.
