After reading the tools and precaution article proceed with the instructions below.

Method 1:
Slice the coral at the lower base with scissors before the branches start. The base will grow baby Xenia and the new cutting will attach and spread on its new rock. These corals are very slimy to work with. While preparing Pulsing Xenia the branches will slime/stick to the rock. Don't worry much about this. Just place the thread over it once (not too tight but securely) and tie it against the new rock. Once it is positioned and secure gently wave it in the water until the branches sway freely. These should be attached in a few days. Remove the thread.

Method 2:

Pulsing Xenia will spread very quickly to nearby rocks on their own just by placing rubble slightly against the clusters base.
