xenia

[fishforlife]

4 months ago, my brother gave me a small xenia for my tank. It has done very well. VERY WELL!! I now have xenia everywhere. I know that I can take some of the fragments to the pet store here, but my problem is that several have attached themselves to rather large pieces of live rock. I don't want to break up the live rock and I don't want to give the rock back to the pet store. Is there anyway to dislodge these babies without killing them? I also have a few on the glass. If I just razor them off will they die? Thanks

I have some xenia that has to be removed from a powerhead every few weeks. I slice it off with a razor, rubberband it to a rock, and the residual tissue ALWAYS sprouts new polyps within days!!

Get some small rubble rock and place them so they just touch the base of the colony.They will sread over in a matter of days.Good luck
