Need your help in eradicating Anthelia / Xenia
Its been a while since I have been on here. So hello again.
I am needing help on eradicating Zenia. I have a 125g tank that is full...... I do not want to tear it down and replace all the live rock. Any ideas on Fish or inverts that might eat the stuff. Thanks Rob Last edited by bluetang; 10-07-2008 at 02:03 PM. |

1. Limit nutrients
2. Get a sonic scrubber - there was a thread about the Sonic Scrubber on this forum earlier this year.

I've been able to keep Xenia in check by manually removing. Found if use a dental pick to gentle pry off the rocks (and not leave behind) it doesn't come back.
It will bud off what remains, but again easy to control with a few minutes a month. |

rabbitfish will most likely eat it. If they don't they'll at least eat your algae.

I keep mine under controll with a good pair of tweezer's, available at a medical supply store. I also do like the idea of a dental pick. I have found that if you miss a little piece it will still greatly stunt it and slowly come back. at this time you can just get it again.

unfortunatly I would be tweezing for months. IF any one want any, let me know via PM and you can take as much as you can. All I ask in return is some clean live rock free of the stuff. It is literally choking the life out of my tank
Thanks Rob |
