i added some red slime remover about 2 weeks ago and immediately my xenia stopped pumping. I figured it would resume after a water change or two but, nope. It also appears more tan in color than the bright white it was. What do you guys think.

OK ,,when adding a additive to your tank ,most or the corals will react ,,,doing water changes is good ,,,did you add carbon to you sump area to rid of the rest of the chemicals that where added in the redsilm remover ,,if not do so ,it will remove most impurities in your tank from the redslim romover ,
also i put in xenia in my tank ,they didnt pulse till about 2 or so months later ,,
are you added Lugols soluiton to you tank (thats iodine)very good very strong ,use carefully ,,,anywway if they are not dead ,dont worry ,they will bounce back ,

Check your Ph, Pumping xeina needs higher Ph to pump. Usally when the Ph drpos they'll stop pumping.

After using Chemi-Clean your surpose to do a large water change. 8.1-8.3 is fine but some Xenia will only start to pump at 8.3 and above.
