getting rid of xenia

[jasonk]

xenia is taking over my life. how do you get rid of some of it? all of it? any help would be great!

 

[crabbychris]

it may sound stupid to some people but nuke em with aiptasia x or kalk paste just do a small amount at a time and stay on top of water changes and skimming.

do you have other coral if not lower sg to 1.023

its impossible to get rid of it once it spreads. i hv so many in my tank, that every time i do water change, i'd pull as much out as possible. even a little bit of tissue left behind will grow into a new xenia within days. ask if ur lfs wants them. my lfs would give me credit for every little bit i brought in.

i'd take some too. my pencil urchin ate mine

I started with 3 small stalks, have 80? and threw out 40 or so... just tons of it everywhere.
To frag it I just put rubble by it or on top of it, xenia will grow up and on, then remove your piece. My biggest problem with xenia is I have a ton to get rid of.

i had just one stalk of it on a small rock at the bottom of my tank, my mistake. now it's grown up on a huge rock that i wanted to be zoos. i can't lower the sg because i have other corals in the tank as well. i'm just beating my head against a wall with this stuff.

Why doesn't mine spread? Geez the only thing that has multiplied so far was a couple of pieces of Kenya Tree

How long have you had your xenia? Don't worry... after awhile it just goes *poof* here I am.

I'm not sure it's xenia I want to poof into here

In my 225g I have had it a couple of months...it has grown some..just not spread
In the 54g I have actually lost a couple of pieces...It came with the tank so I do not know how long it was in there for...It spread to like 3 spots..now I have one spot

 

[jackri]

Not totally a bad thing then.... If I could keep xenia where I wanted I'd be happier with it as I've made more of a move to sps -- but still like xenia although not quite as much as I did at first.

You could always get a lemonpeel angel to mow it down lol. I agree with CRABBYCHRIS, just nuke it with joes juice if it's taking over. You can frag it all away, but it will come back.
