WOW!! Extreme takeover. I love xenia's, and had some at one point in time but our emerald crab kept killing them. They're slowly growing back but I now know to keep them in check!

i had the same prob. listened to my girlfriend & a month later i put the entire rock in my sup tank. i bought a piece w/ 2 pieces and with 4 weeks it had completely taken over like 5.5 lb rock...she got mad but i told her i do the maintance and pay for the tank so i got the final say so. A fish tank is one thing you have to draw the line on w/ them

Going to try to comment on the previous posts during the course of today, but for now a couple short videos I shot last night. Didn't use the HD Flip (( not 100% sure where the girlfriend left it )), so it was just my phone -- didn't edit it, nor add any music.

For "Mr. D" you can see the blenny being used as a cave at the :20 mark.

They were all expecting food, hence the reason they were all at that part of the tank,

I think its beautiful, If it annoys you cant you give it a prune and sell it or something (Sorry noob here

)

This is the first time that I have thought a xenia take over looks amazing! I really enjoy the look of your huge xenia garden, with the few additional corals!

Earl TH · Dec 13, 2012

Wow

I have had several types of xenias and have never gotten that bad. Now that I said that watch what will happen, mine will go crazy.

:cry:

i would definately throw a nice frogspawn, hammer and torch in between them and let nature take its course...but definately looks cool!

SNAKEMANVET · Dec 16, 2012

Tank looks great,I thought about setting up a small tank for xenia.

JMSKI333 · Dec 16, 2012

I think it looks amazing! It looks overrun yet well planned at the very same time.

florida reef · Mar 5, 2013

You have created a new type of tank...a Xenia dominated tank. I think it looks pretty cool!

Trex · Mar 5, 2013
