    Are you sure its not just new growth on your xenia? I have thought the same thing a couple times only to find the places I thought were getting eaten were new stalks that hadn't pushed out the entire "hand" part yet.

    No...its defin. being picked on...it looks like something was eating the "fingers" off of it :angry:.....i got the peppermints to eat the problem anems...not my xenia! This angers me...there is no way i can catch them little buggers either...hopefully they will go see how my giant pink spotted goby's home looks...not many inverts live to tell that story..
