Xenia types - are they all bad?

[ThunderGoose]

I know that pulsing xenia can get out of control and take over a tank. So I avoided it.

But I like the way xenia looks and I see other "types" of xenia available. Are they all problematic? Could I use a Pom Pom Xenia or a silver Xenia and NOT have it take over everything?


Thanks

Every Xenia will take over .Have u thought about an island for the Xenia

I don't have a very big tank - there's very little to no room to add an island.

I didn't know what I was doing when I set up my rockscape and now it's all glued together and changing it would be very difficult/ messy.

You can try growing it on the sand

It's nothing a siphon and a stiff bristled brush can't handle if it starts going in a direction you don't want it to.

True Pom Pom xenia would be nice but I haven't seen it for sale in many years.

There's a giant bali xenia that doesn't spread like the others. Marine Farmers sells frags. I've had it in my tank for awhile and it's great.

Thanks for the suggestion.
