Xenia help

[mark]

Well I'm finding out like others, Xenia can take over a tank.

Like to get the extra mounted on some rubble but not sure how. The original frags have split several times and is spreading out. Since is on a slope can't really surround with pieces of LR. Wondering if it can be pried off or will I need to cut. If I cut, what happens to the bit left behind?

Picture shows growth from one small piece after ~4 months (plug bottom, ctr). Brushed to get to retract for pic to show bases.

You have to scrape it off your rock or it will just grow back. Scape a piece off and tie it with fishing line to a plug and it will attach.

Be warned... any little pieces left on your main rock will grow back.

peel them off your rocks with your finger nails before you clip your nails. Or use a hard spatula. they peel off from the base rather easily and its like peeling a sticker off a piece of glass - sometimes it all comes off, and sometimes a piece gets left behind.

I was trying to get rid of some aptasia. I found joes juice works good on the aptasia but also will take out xenias too.

I just cut mine as close to the base as possible. Use sharp sissors. You can "sew" the frags (thread and needle) on pieces of rubble and it will attach in a couple weeks. Once they're attached, pull out the thread. The bits that are left on the rock will re-grow, but it may take a couple months before you can cut them again.
