Suffocate Xenia?

[bretttx]

hi all.

I have my dream tank and it's been up for a year, 400 gallon reef.

I have Xenia or Anthelia taking over. :-/ I'm at a total loss. It's taking over everything.

Does anyone know of a safe non permanent putty I could use? My current idea is to get it to shrink down to the polyps and suffocate certain parts bit by bit by blocking light and water flow to it...

It is impossible to remove the rocks without damaging everything else.... Does anyone know anything that eats it???

Any guidance is appreciated!

Hi,
Tipping the rock on it's side to make it climb upwards will guide it to another rock, then remove that rock and sell the Xenia. There isn't much you can do except isolate the Xenia so it can't keep spreading. As often the case, some corals just flourish under certain conditions. Your tank is the perfect breeding ground for your Xenia.
