Xenia w/ zoas and torch?
I recently got a new little stalk of xenia and i placed them far from my torches and zoas but would like to move them...will the xenia get stung by the zoas or torches?
what kind of flow do my xenia need? I have read hight light and moderate flow but wasn't sure |

moderate flow, and don't let them touch, or keep them in line with the flow too much.

the torch will definately mess them up if they touch, the zoas shouldn't bother too much.

I've never had a problem with xenia and my zoos...they get pretty close from time to time.
Also - xenia spreads like crazy, and "walks" in the direction of the flow as it splits. You might want to keep that in mind when you place it. I keep my xenia on a rock that I "rotate" as it walks and spreads, kind of like a hamster running on the outside of a wheel. It's worked so far

Zoas should be fine, torch will kill the xenia.
