Hi,

My tank is invaded with Pumping Xenia.
Any solution out there that would avoid me destroying large parts of my landscape?
Any fish that would help? Any harmless magical solution?

Thanks

M.

Not really. You just have to keep yanking it out.
 
You can frag them out little by little and use a toothbrush to scrub the flesh with a siphon while doing water change don’t do it all in one shot. Just a suggestion the decision is yours. Good luck.
 
Welcome to the world of keeping Pulsing Xenia. Probably gotta reset the rock to truly rid your tank of it. With good technique, you can often pluck them off rocks mostly intact, but if it's a full invasion, you will likely miss some.
