I have some silver xenia that grows like crazy too, when it splits I lean a frag up against the one I dont want, when it attaches, I snip it off the original rock and put the new frag in another tank or sell it..
Also, I noticed my frilly shrooms will overtake the xenia and effectively kill it. They grow like weeds too and can become a problem as well. I had a frag with 3 small shrooms grow into a colony and take over a 6 x 12 inch rock (about 12 shrooms) in just 3 months.
To control them I point a jet at them with a small frag behind them, when they move onto the frag to get away from the current they dont like I remove the frag,, Or I just cut them off and frag them too...
Hope this helps...:rock:
i have quite the pulsing xenia problem. any thoughts on how i can get rid of it? i have pulled out rocks and even cut it off but it seems to come back even faster. do you think aptaisa x would work?
