xenia problem

[cjr579]

I need to get rid of the xenia in my tank. It's taking over, growing like weeds. Any suggestions on what I should do.

manual removal is probably your best bet!
good luck

hand pick it and send it to me

I have xenia in my tank and it does grow like a weed. I trim mine with a pair of stainless scissors about every 2 weeks and trade my cuttings at my LFS for credit.

If you want to send me some I'd be happy to take some and pay for the shipping! I'm in Austin, Tx which isn't too far from NO.

If you place some more aggresive corals around the xenias, The aggresive corals will sting it and keep it contained to one area!
I have a torch coral near my xenia!

NERDY, by placing corals around your xenia does't it damage the corals or xenia, or both? Does it just keep the xenia from growing and branching out??

xenia really dont deal out any damage, IME, however, they are very succeptible to stings from others!
good luck
