My tank is getting over run with them, I read that Pyramid Butterfly fish eat them. I don't know if its true, or what other corals it might also eat. Sorry
 
That's an old link that doesn't work. They are banned in the US. No one has them unless you can find someone with an old supply.
Looks like I am SOL unless I give that other Fenbendazole for xenia control? a try. Those will work on clove polyps as well? Have you heard of this working for others?
 
Do what Max says. I did this to my 24 gal cube with excellent results. Xenia, BCP's, gsp's, one of 4 pepeint shrimp, all bristle worms, stomatella snails, and small leather coral were the casualties. All else in perfect condition. I have more info on my thread on SDReefs. (Same username). Hit me up if you have any question!

Cheers.

Awesome .. I am going to try this with my 125. I will keep you guys posted as to what happens with pics and everything. I am eager to try this and get started! My entire tank is crazy purple with cloves and the xenia is right behind it!
 
Before I start, just to make sure, should I worry about any of these corals?

Thanks!!
