is there a fish known to eat xenia?

[cameltowing]

I have 2 different types of xenia growing rapidly in different parts of a 400 gallon reef tank.. this morning xenia all good. after work its gone all of it like a 4-6 in 4 branch of it and another little field of pom pom is there a known fish or invert that would eat it???

Tangs have been known to nibble on it but would not destroy a whole colony.

Low ALK is deadly to Xenia. Low temp is deadly to Red Sea Xenia.

Can you post your water parameters as a start?

...A chocolate chip starfish, will make short work of your corals...remove it before you add any other corals, since they are not reef safe for a reason.
