Doesnt seem more wilted just alot less stalks

I would do some small 5-10% water changes over the next few days and continue to dose iodide according to the instructions on the bottle. From there I guess you will just have to wait and see if it pulls through.

Thanks for giving me hope i was ready to give up considering i did about 20% water change and the LFS said i could get credit. Unfortunately i have always wanted a pumping Xenia i finally get one (BLUE!) IT DOESNT PULSE and its wilted

I wish you the best of luck. Please keep us updated on its progress.

I've never been able to keep xenias in my tank... Hopefully doing what Frag state should help out and possibly get it nice. If not in a few days before it dies (again hopefully that doesn't happen) I would take it bake to the LFS to see if they can get it to open up nicely and for store credit. I hate it when stuff dies.

The Xenia was taken back for store credit, it has gotten worse even at the store.I got a hammer coral with 2 heads i of them is also dying back. This is the same LFS i bought the Clown Tang that died the next day. I know its not my tank, i did all the required tests. A ll this is bad for me being in this hobby as i dont have much money with 3 kids and one on the way (my wife thinks its a waist of money) but she likes the overall tank. I really think that i wont be shopping at that store for a long while it recently changed owners and livestock dont look very healthy i wish i could convince my wife to not lose interest.
