Euphyllia our of control

[MACHO]

Hello so I got a Euphyllia a while back and it has completely taken over my rocks and I’m about to just throw it away just clip it up and go that’s how frustrated I am any hammer or anything I put near it it fights it and always wins what should I do should I move the rock or what?

It Xenia, I would recommend removing all of it from your tank, I love it but it’s very invasive and can quickly overrun a tank.

How do I get it off the rocks?

Not Euphyllia. These are wood polyp xenia

That is not a Euphyllia. That is xenia and ut will take over. I am sorry someone told you that was a Euphyllia I hope you didnt pay much. Rock may have to go completely unfortunately. You can try scraping and sealing it off at the base.

I'm interested in the hammer you put next to it that lost the fight with the xenia. I didn't think xenia stood a chance against any euphyllia. Got a pic of said hammer?

Curious, what is the key to get these to spread like this? Ive had lps, monti's grow but my xenia stayed same size and shriveled up and died. I dose iodine, i believe its needed for these.

no i had a hammer and frogspawn sitting right next to it and they both were killed due to how long its polyps are

If you want, youtube how to frag xenia. Its super simple, cut a stalk off and superglue or rubberband to a piece of rubble. Trade these with local reefers.

Ah gotcha. John is right, frag it like crazy and trade it in to your LFS for credits.

If euphyllias are out of control, it’s better than the stimulus check.
