Pulsing Xenia removal

[Zakary2003]

In my experience they are super sensitive to hydrogen peroxide. I used it for algae treatment and it wiped out all the xenia without doing much more to stress out other corals. I'm no expert, but it worked for me.

Heat spike will melt them too. Massive died off but make sure your skimmer is working well and watch for overflow.

Anyone here have experience or informed opinions on the following for reasonably reliable Xenia control: Raccoon Butterflyfish, Copperband Butterflyfish, or possibly Klein’s Butterflyfish?

I am receiving a Klein this Wednesday, so I will let you know. Got it to eat aiptasia.

Pyramid butterfly will eat it while’s leaving most other things alone.

Have you had a Pyramid? I'm looking to possibly get one soon. Did you witness it eating Xenia? I've heard they do.
