apologies if this isnt really an emergency, i've kept FOWLR (or near fowlr, i had 2 corals) for years and only just started diving into corals recently lol!

Let me know if the xenia doesn't make it, I've been looking for a way to dispatch mine...

LOL will do! this guy is one of two corals i got early on, boy does it grow fast! but i think it's beautiful so i don't mind

You can always edit the thread and remove the emergency badge. Xenia naturally dump heads so taking a single one off shouldnt be to bad

I've used a 3/8 tube while doing water changes scrap it off with the hose and suck up what falls off worked ok got rid of a patch that traveled across my tank somehow
