    I'm sick of these corals. What will eat em and if they eat my other corals so be it. I am sick of looking at these corals taking over everything. Should I add some sort of Angel. Thanks for any advice.

    Please give them away, or trade them. I am willing to pay shipping if you want to do that. You can pm me. These corals are known for their invasive habits, please research carefully before adding more coral.

    I don't think there is anything that will do what you're looking for it to do. I would just frag/cut what you can and maybe take the rock out and scrub it really good or bleach it.

    Your telling me to research. Ha maybe I'll get in trouble for this but............ No never mind I'll bite my tongue. You gonna buy the rock to as just fragging them off does nothing but make them spread worse. Time to nuke the rock.

    Yea I know there is nothing to do it really without risk of other corals on the diet you just got to vent sometimes you know what I mean. Keep on keeping on my friend.

    Perhaps you can trade a rock full of the Xenia for new base rock or other supplies plus additional credit at your local LFS? I've seen a few people do this recently.

    I agree with them, you should try fragging it, then maybe trying to lower the amount of nutrients in the water. I have a friend who has 2 types of xenias and gsp and they don't spread very quickly in his tank.

    This is awesome. Hey, about every 2 months I throw away handfuls and handfuls of softcoral. Do you want to buy all that too? I'll gladly ship you some every couple months for a profit on my end.




    I've tried kalk paste on this stuff... It kind of works, if you can get it all...

    I'd say time to nuke and get it over with. My tank went through an entire rebuild to get rid of Xenia and GSP.

    (all documented in my thread)
