Xenia

What's the best/ easiest way to trime Xenia? I've got a small piece that I isolated to a rock, but, of course its taken over said rock, so I want to trim it before it spreads.

Thanks.

Take the rock out of the tank, any scraps can form new colonies.

Then cut it at the base and epoxy over the area or, just take the rock out from time to time and cut it back... kind of like mowing grass... you don't really get rid of it, you just trim it back.

Okay, thanks Scott. I kind of thought that would be the way to do it, but just wanted to ask.

you can also consider putting some small rocks around it and as it spreads to them remove and bring to me!

I'll see what I can muster up. That crap defo grows fast and I know a lot of people consider it a nuisance, but it really is a pretty coral to watch.
