Xenia

[bknapp]

I've got a frag of lunar eclipse zoas and in between the polyps is some Xenia. And I don't want it. What's the best way to kill/remove the Xenia without killing the polyps?

Just put glue on it covering it

cut the xenia and then glue it like calvo said

Take a propane torch and burn it with fire

I would take a scalpel to it. Get the zoas to close up and see if you can see where the xenia is attached, and try to scrape it off.

Peroxide and tank water 50/50 mix for 5 min

How do you know that will work on the xenia and not the polyps?

This stuff grows so ridiculously fast...this is my breeder box full in my tank. It all started with around 4-5 heads about 2 months ago. I had to Toss the frag into the breeder box once I noticed polyps floating around...here's the box today...

I have some too, I frag it once in awhile along with my star polyps and take them into my LFS for store credit.

Jeremy, that's ridiculous.

I say just pour a gallon of bleach in the tank. Should take care of it and any that may spread :bigsmile:
