Is there any for sure way to get rid of Xenia? It’s budding all over my aquarium and I can’t take my rocks out. There are little stalks EVERYWHERE, no matter the amount of scraping the rocks has helped, they keep growing back faster. Please help!

Believe it or not I did have it on it’s very own rock and it became huge! Eventually it started stretching towards the other rocks, I probably should have fragged when I had the chanceI believe you are going to have to get new rock. Xenia,GSP etc. are best kept on a rock away from the main rock structure to prevent this from happening.
It’s a 16 gallon biocubeKeep cutting them once they get big and put other corals over them. You can win eventually. I used to have alot in my nano. How big is the tank?
Thank you!I used a mixture of Kalkwasser, and putty over the areas.
Will it sting any other corals? The Xenia is growing between my ricordias, palys, zoas, blasto and DuncanBuy yourself a cheap galaxea frag. A small 1x1 can take out a baseball size of xenia in less than a week. I keep one for just that reason not xenia but other invaders. When Im done I throw him back in his home far away till needed again.
