I know my Xenia is eventually going to spread to the rest of my tank and want to consider my options now. Whats the best way to frag Xenia as i never fragged before. If not for fragging whats the best way to stop it from taking over my tank

I put a small rock next to it, just above a group. It will bend and attach to the new rock. When it takes a good hold...I cut it from the rest of the group and there I have it...one stalk on a small rock, fragged.

From someone who has the "poster child" of xenias taking over a tank...this is what I do. The LFS then gives me credit for the frags, and actually supplies the rock rubble to frag onto. If they can't take the frags, then my daughter takes them for her 55gal. Either way, it's a matter of keeping up on it.
