Need Advice:O

OK , Ive been trying to physically remove a very motivated Xenia coral out..Funny thing, is Ive fragged, fragged, fragged, diced and smashed(accidently)and they still keep coming back through the crush coral everywhere..What would kill the Xenia and not others? Anyone have a xenia hating fish I could rent J/k..Any Ideas?

Tiger cowrie ate my xenia, didn't touch anything else. But I think I just had a psycho one.

When you pull the xenias out,make sure not to leave any behind.If theres even a speck of xenia left,it'll grow back.

If you pull or cut it off, put a glob of superglue where it used to be so that it can't grow back.

Cool , Never even crossed my mind to use glue (that should help with the ones on the rocks).Thanks , I should have never allowed it to get this bad .Its not that bad at least I can sell it, unlike algae blooms hehe.

Re: Need Advice:O

that is correct though I think that a substrate covered in xenia would be pretty cool as opposed to cynobacteria
