xenia too high flow?

CoralBeautyII · 05/23/2008, 01:42 PM

I had to move my xenia because my coral beauty decided to dine on it.
So the only safe place i can think of was in the highest flow area.
but how much is too much?

they are being blown in one direction, the stalks arent at risk of breaking i dont think. the xenia is fully extended but blown kinda flat

they are in a koralia #4, in its direct path

there is still a chance my coral beauty will find it and still want to eat it to the nubbins, but im hoping she wont like the high flow spot which ive never seen her venture to. if she finds it the xenia is done

she tore at it like a maniac!

There will come a day when you will want your beauty to feast all she can on your beloved Xenia

right after i posted she found it and tore off a peice. she did back a way a bit from the flow, but i dont think this will stop her

If you look on the GARF site you will see they have theirs right in front of a powerhead for multiplication and fragging. Doesn't look to be affecting them badly at all.
