Being new to corals made the mistake of adding pulsing Xenia to my tank. I really enjoy the beauty and do my best to keep it under control. Has anyone used anything that works on those areas that one can't easily reach where the Xenia seems to always find? For instance something like aiptasia killer or something similar to keep Xenia from spreading to unreachable places.

Neglecting your tank seems to kill them off!!!


Nah, joking aside, don't neglect your tank, but they are a nuisance that's for sure. Not sure how to help, but I got 99 problems but a xenia aint one...

Mine, luckly, have been contained to an "island" rock, that seems to be what I read is the best way to contain it, but if its already everywhere, Bone cutters should be able to chop it out.
