Anthelia

[bigbsreef]

So I'm in a bit of a tough spot. We bought some anthelia (it was sold as xenia) and it was great for awhile until some angelfish we got shredded it and absolutely spread it throughout our tank. Now I'm stuck, I've tried everything to remove it. It just keeps coming back, it strips all the nutrients out of the tank and killed several if my colonies. At this point it looks like possibly using the nuclear method and dosing Fenbendazole or just restarting. Anyone have any tips? I have several mushrooms and 2 large bta's I'll need to set up a quarantine tank for of i go nuclear on this stuff.

Personally I would prepare to do a full rock swap, IMO no need for dog deworming chemicals and no need to start over, a rock swap will give the tank new life.

I've been considering it. I had 2 concerns. My first was missing some anthelia somewhere on the sand and having this happen all over again. Second was crashing my tank because I switched out all that rock. I suppose it'll all need cycled first

If you buy live rock no need to cycle it!
