Xenia flopped over

[Fishfirst]

My xenia is flopped over, still pulseing, I noticed one of my brittle stars knocking it over a few days ago and it hasn't recovered... it also has quite a bit of flow so maybe that is the reason it is not upright. Should I add some iodine suppliment to help him along? (I hear its great for them) Should I move him to a low flow area to recover? Also I'd like to report that I've seen all but one of my corals out so far.

Iodine is a well-known xenia requirement & booster, almost guaranteed to get them pulsing and growing, so yes, some iodine and the other usual trace element supplements should help them and your other corals get stabilized and established.

I like to use "AragaMilk" and "CombiSan," but the Kent stuff is good too.

Xenia likes a medium water current. Too fast or slow and they're not happy, but medium suits them fine. They do like a lot of light, though.

Xenias are sensitive to the exudates of soft corals, and they often close up when these start to build up in the water.
