Hey, not going to lie, its a good thing...for xenia to die.

Im speaking from experience, that stuff causes people to shut down tanks. I had to shut down 2 and scan and scrape rocks for hours because of that stuff, and some still made it through to the new tank.

It sucks loosing coral, but xenia needs to be treated like a pest, like with as much urgency as ich. Id argue they're worse than aptasia.

I have Xenia in my other tank, had it for 3 years and never outgrew its rock, it’s strange how they do it in some tanks and not in others
