need help removing pink pulsating xenia

[killerego27]

My xenia is taking over my tank...I need to get some of it out of my tank. I can't remove the rock they are on cause of other corals that are the rock.

I would be glad to give you some. I need to find out how to remove it...

If you don't mind killing it you can maybe try a small hose (1/2") to siphon them out. Put a sock on the output of the hose so it will catch them. You will have to kind of scrape them with the hose. Make sure you get all the floating parts or else they will land somewhere and grow, lol

Remove or frag? Most people use scissors or a razor blade then rubber band to a rock.

You can't just cut them with scissors?

I heard some people say you can do that but not to much at once cause of toxins released in the tank.if so how much is to much. I'm running a 29g hqi. I do have carbon in my filter rack.

 

[Igarc009]

didn't know about the toxins! Ive tried three different frags of pulsating xenia. It always dies in my tank. Whats your secret?

If you have bone cutters try to cut the rock that they are growing on. Go to town and get them out....longer you wait the more out of hand they are gonna get.

No secret. They just grow...I started out with one frag and now I have a butt load...

If your able to chisel/frag a piece let me know..

 

[killerego27]

At the moment I'm putting pieces of rubble rock up against them and when they attach then I'll remove until I get my fragging kit from marine depot..
