I read a lot on here about the "dangers" of adding certain species to reef tanks out of concerns claiming they'll take over your tank... seemingly overnight. I keep quite a few of these "invasive" species. For example, pulsing Xenia I've heard it told quite often to newbies that its not recommended. After a year in my tank there are two tiny new colonies, either of which I could kill off in a matter of seconds. These things do not grow over night and are EASILY controlled through the most basic regular maintenance. I just don't understand the term "invasive" being used to describe anything in a home reef.
