dang thats a big old xenia bush in the corner. Ive been keeping mine well trimmed in my 14 lol like every week!!!!
And u need to ship me some of those in the left bottom of the sandbed

 

[nycbob]

how do u keep it trim? i am trying to limit its growth by placing rocks on them.

 

[rebelprettyboy]

Mine is just in my nano so its easy to just place my hand in there with the sicssors and cut em and catch.
The way ur doing it seems kool. Easy to take the rock out and sell it. or move it or whatever
My way I have to use bridal veil and a ruber band to attach it. So I just usually flush my down the drain. Its not worth driving 30 mins to the LFs to get crappy credit for it

I just cut the stock off and rubber band it to a peace of LR. VERY nice tank nycbob! What kind of xenia is that? pom pom?

 

[nycbob]

to be honest with u, i v no idea what kind they r. i got them from swf.com awhile back. i think i will use ur method, and just cut it with a scissor every 2 weeks.

 

[coral keeper]

lol

very nice tank and photos

my xeniaswent wild as well... i`d place LR rubble beside them so they could grow on that, but the colonywas growing too fast to keep up. they can be pulled (gently) off the rocks and or i ended up... when doing a water change i`d syphon them into the hose and with my finger slowly pull them off ...

 

[nycbob]

i wish i never did put the xenia in. they r popping up everywhere. i actually took a few pieces to put into my fowlr to feed it to my dwarf angel.

those are the white pom poms just like the type i have. only problem with cutting them off is leaving small pieces behind on the LR that will slowly regrow new polyps and regrow ... trust me i know ...lol

+1 one on the type. Same I have as well. And yes it will slowly regrow after u cut it. U think Joes Juice would kill em after u frag em?

lol, you should put the dwarf angel into the reef.

 

[nycbob]

but i am afraid the coral beauty will eat or bother my clams. i am actually thinking of adding a foxface.

Tank looks great as always. After listening to you and some others on here tell of their battles with xenia it sure makes me glad I decided to not put any in my tank. Hopefully you can find a way to keep it under control.

 

[veni vidi vici]
