Same way you deal with aiptasia.

And I can't get it to grow at all in my tank. Just shrinks away and dies. Go figure!

yah, you think that will work, considering the xenia's are about 30x the size of aptasia?

I think so. But the only way to be sure is by manually removing them. Scrape them off your rock (them and the top layer of rock beneath them). Labour intensive, but hey...you wanted a solution :)

yah, one thing i wont go as far as doing will be removing rockwork...just can't do that so i'll try the clip and burn (kalk) method i suppose, wish me luck.

peel them off. they are like stickers on glass. just grow your fingernails a little long and peel them off. then you can stick them onto anything else.
